When My Train Pulls In Lyrics
Everyday nothing seems to change.
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I..
I can't take it no more.
Oh, I would leave this town but I ain't got no where else to go.
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news.
& I.. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose & I..
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'll catch the next train & I.. I'll move on down the line.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.
Walking down the streets you might run across a smilng face.
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn & walk away
& I.. Oh Lord it's bringing me down.
If things don't change around here, ain't no use in me hanging 'round.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I..
I can't take it no more.
Oh, I would leave this town but I ain't got no where else to go.
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news.
& I.. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose & I..
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'll catch the next train & I.. I'll move on down the line.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn & walk away
& I.. Oh Lord it's bringing me down.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
& I can't live this life again.

Aside from the general amazingness of the song, what I realize is that this song can be applied to just about anything that surrounds loneliness. I take this song to be about the general feeling of distrust and betrayal around people who claim to care about you and that overwhelming desire to get away from them, start over. For me, at the moment, it's a relationship. But it can also be a disillusionment of the glorified "family loyalty" or just the classic false friends. Treachery knows no bounds.
I always thought that his train pulling in refers to death or suicide, not literally getting on a train and going to another town.
@ctrick1123 I totally agree, the line " I would this town but I ain't got no where else to go" tells there's no train ride happening here... Amazing song

@ctrick1123 I just realized the word "leave" is missing in the lyrics

@ctrick1123 always taken that line to mean hopeless and trapped. Either way, crap place to be.

Reminds me a lot of Hendrix. It's a classic blues style song about being lonely and wanting to move "on down the line" to the next town.
