The Train Never Stops

[Verse]
For years I've tried to leave this poor man's valley
On a train that's on its way to richer ground
Where rivers never overflow and dreams cannot be drowned
But the train never stops at our town

[Verse]
I'd like to buy a mansion for my darling
Far away up on a mountain looking down
I know there's restless gold out there just waiting to be found
But the train never stops at our town

[Bridge]
Failure has to find something to blame
And the only thing that's left is that old prayin'

[Verse]
The darkness of the night catches me crying
A whistle soon will blow a lonesome sound
A spark of hope becomes a flame each time the train slows down
But the train never stops at our town
That old train never stops at our town
