Billie Joe’s son went to school with “Train,” who was raised by two women. Throughout the song, the narrator eludes to the general feeling of uncertainty surrounding this character.

[Verse 1]
Where did you come from? Where have you been?
It looks like you fell into the trash bin
I'm catching the train, I'm crashing the car
Packing for daylight, shooting for the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a lifelong daisy chain
Of my imagination
A rat inside a maze
I got no destination
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train
I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been... Ay!
[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]

I got no destination
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train
I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been... Say!

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a little boy named Train
Ask me again, I'll tell you the same
Little boy named Train
I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been
I said I don't know where I come from
But I know where I have been

Billie Joe told Billboard:
One of [Train’s] parents was born a hermaphrodite, and [Train’s parents] cut off the penis. His/her whole life, this person wanted to be acknowledged as a man. The parents wanted the child to not be identified as a boy or a girl, and the child didn’t really have a name –o...
