[Verse 1]
Been on a train
Baby did you hear the whistle blow?
Been on a train north
Baby did you hear the whistle blow?
I saw a man take a needle full of hard drugs
And die slow
[Chorus]
Been on a train
And I'm never going to be the same
[Verse 2]
See there's a bright light in the north wind
Gonna take you home
Ooh, mister there's a bright light in the north wind
Ooh, it'll take you home
He said, "Sweet darling woman
Leave me alone"
[Chorus]
I've been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same
[Bridge]
Yeah, you got more tracks on you baby
Than the tracks of this train
I said, you got no guts, no, no guts
Oh, and you got no brain
Well he said, "That's alright
I got one thing
To еase my pain"
No, no, damn you mister
And I dragged him out thе door
No, no, damn you mister
He died in the morning sun
And I won't go north no more
[Verse 3]
I suspect there is a train
Going north in a month or two
I still hear his voice
He said, "There's nothing left to say or do"
But mister you were wrong
And I'm gonna sing my song for you
[Chorus]
I've been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same
