TRAIN
words and music Anita Chase © 2000

Train done lost his mind
I said Train done lost his mind
He's done hanging around the station
Gonna slip off down the line

Train you run off the tracks
I said "Train, you've run off the tracks"
He said, "Society has no use for me"
"I'm not going back"

Too many times, too many times Lord
Too many times, too many times
Too many times, where's my reward, Lord?
Not no more
I'm gonna heal the blind

Train, don't you ever sleep?
I said, "Train, don't you ever sleep?"
He said, "Death don't need no rest"
"I've got promises to keep"

Too many times, too many times Lord
Too many times, too many times
Too many times, I've been ignored, Lord
Not no more 
I'm taking mine

I was an easy target when I was a kid
I did not forget, and now I am big
You did it to me, I'll do it you 
Made my life misery, now you'll suffer too

Train roll away from me
I said, "Train, leave me in peace"
He said, "Don't look too hard in the mirror"
"You might see someone like me"
