As long as I'm goin' the wind's always blowin' Across the leafless desert of my mind Give me prairie rails and crossties my troubles I'll say goodbye And I'll show you how I'll leave 'em all behind I'll leave here in a hurry I never could stand worry And there's only one way I can clear my brain Some people take a drink to help them to forget But I always really always take a train
With the world outside flyin' past my window And a whistle blowin' for a town ahead Got my troubles off my back I'll leave 'em layin' on the track Along with that goodbye that was said The big wheels keep turnin' while my memory I'm burnin' Of that someone I left standin' in the rain Some people take a drink to help them to forget But I always nearly always take a train
