There Never Was a Train

(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)

Given up on traveling'

It's driving me insane

Riding alone on a midnight train

Now a mind can wonder

And that's far from being free

'Cause when that lonesome sunset whistle blows

This is where I'll be

I hopped a westbound for San Antone

From there to Santa Fe

And It's a thousand miles from there to home

And there's a thousand things to say

About a man bound to ramble

And a dream he's got to lose

That'll break this fever set him free

And bring him home to you

Somewhere I slipped off track

But the world keeps going by

But there never was a train

That couldn't try

There'll be nobody waiting

My goodbyes are too long gone

From that moment at the station

When I left from right to wrong

But now I finally nearly made it

It was a long uphill climb

To right back to where I started from

But I think I can this time

Somewhere I slipped off track

But the world keeps going by

But there never was a train

That couldn't try

Somewhere I slipped off track

I was thinking I could fly

But there never was a train

That couldn't try
