Lyrics

Running down the back road, there's a place I've got to be
I've a need to go much faster, the train won't wait for me
I've got a wasted disposition, and a suitcase in my hand
A need for tender mercy, redemption on demand
Hey
You tell me there's a place where I'll be free
Baby, that ol' train won't wait for me
It won't wait for me
It won't wait for me
It's a long way to the station and I go against the grain
Sometimes I get so restless, restless like a train
Every love and danger will surely slow me down
There's a train that leaves tomorrow, I'll be lucky if I'm around
Hey
You tell me there's a place where I'll be free
Baby, that ol' train won't wait for me
It won't wait for me
It won't wait for me
Now I'm drawn to walk upon that empty ol' train track
I could walk forever and a day
I saw you leaving and you ain't never coming back my way
Hey
You tell me there's a place where I'll be free
Baby. that ol' train won't wait for me
I know you're out there waiting on the other side, so free
Baby, I'll be staying, the train won't wait for me
