David Ford Train lyrics

Well, the sun's coming up
And the dust it is clearing
Down the line I am hearing
There's a train coming in

I left my home and my girl
Tried to find some place better
But I never could forget her
So let this train take me home

Oh, please my darling
Forgive what I've done
I've found nothing
Just some big lonely world

So take me back, please my lover
Take me back, please my lover
I took a train to discover
I cannot be without you, girl

Well, I was young, I was green
Prone to foolish decisions
At what I thought was ambition
And a will to be free

Yeah, but freedom's just some word
Don't believe has a meaning
So on this train I am leaving
Trying to get me back home

So, please my darling
Forgive what I've done
I've found nothing
Just some big lonely world


So take me back, please my lover
Take me back, please my lover
I took a train to discover
I cannot be without you, girl

So pour another cup of coffee
Pretty soon I'll be leaving
I ain't done petty thieving
Hitching rides and drinking beer

I'm so tired of having friends
Just to keep out of prison
Well, this life really isn't
All I hoped it would be

So, please my darling
Forgive what I've done
I've found nothing
Just some big lonely world

So take me back, please my lover
Take me back, please my lover
I took a train to discover
I can't be without you, girl

It took a train to discover
I cannot be without you, girl
It took a train to discover
I cannot be without you, girl
