Back Back Train Lyrics

Well I look way down that lonesome road.
Well I look way down that lonesome road.
Way way down, way way down,
Way way down that lonesome road.

I know that back back train will get you home.
Back back train will get you home.
Back back train, back back train,
Back back train will get you home.

Well I thought I heard that church bell toll.
I thought I heard that church bell toll.
Told your lie, told your lie
Told your lie, somebody told me so.

Well I'm going home on morning train.
I'm going home on morning train.
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm ging home on morning train.

Well that back back train will get you home.
Back back train will get you home
Take me home, take me home
Take me.. take me...home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

OK, I'm the biggest Joe Perry fan I know. I don't care if he's old enough to be my father, I am totally in love with him. And his vocals on this song are so amazing. I was parylized when I heard it for the first time. THIS is Joe at his finest. Not only are the vocals outstanding, but the music, the backup vocals...everything about this song makes me fall in love with the album all over again. If only Joe stuck to the lower register on his solo album...sigh...sorry, I'm a pathetic little fangirl. As for the song's meaning, it sounds to me like he's alone and trying to find his place in the world, and really just wants to go home. He sounds sad and lonely (but still extremely sexy). ;)
