lyrics

My granddaddy was a trainman
Conducting the Worchester to Lynn
And my daddy taught me the same three chords
That his wandering father taught him

In the night times when I play those chords
And I feel so void of pain
In the whispering eyes and the fleeting replies
There’s no escape from the train

All aboard
This train runs on time
The dues have all been paid

When the whistle blows
And the band explodes
Your 4000 miles away

When the trainman returned
From 3 years on the rails

And the front door was locked
With a chain

He pulled out his guitar
And tuned up the strings

And he swore it would
cure every sin

And so it goes

I hear the sound of the 5:39
As the sunrise comes into view
Is the train I hold tickets for
The biggest distraction from you?
