Blue Train Lyrics

I heard that whistle when I heard you speak
Felt that rumble underneath my feet
I knew I bought myself a first class seat
On the Blue Train
I knew you'd break me down and leave me flat
I saw it coming but I turned my back
I feel like a nickel on the railroad track
Here comes the Blue Train
[CHORUS:]
Blue Train, Blue Train
Broken hearts ride free
On the Blue Train, Blue Train
Coming for to carry me
It's not the first time I've been down this line
I've done some traveling with this heart of mine
Seems to be along to ride each time
On the Blue Train
When I get home I'm gonna lock my heart
Try to tear away the wounded part
I'm gonna get myself a good head start
And outrun the Blue Train
(Chorus)
On the Blue Train, Blue Train
Coming for to carry me
On the Blue Train

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.
