[Verse 1]
Stop, the train is ridin' down to the station
Where you lived when we were school kids
Hey, the rails are caught now
And I am falling down fools in a spiral
'Round this town of steel
[Chorus 1]
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
[Verse 2]
Stop, the train is riding down to the station
Where I lived when I was a cool kid
Hey, is it my fault that the fallen embers
Burn down in a spiral
'Round your crown of thieves?
[Chorus 2]
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
And it rides out of town
[Bridge]
Oh, it's my road, it's my road, it's my road
It's my road, it's my road, it's my road
And it's my war, it's my war, it's my war
His eyes are open, his eyes are open
Oh, 'cause I want more, I want more, I want more
His eyes are open, his eyes are open
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus 2]
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
And it rides out of town
Stop, the train is ridin' down to the station
Where you lived when we were school kids
Hey, the rails are caught now
And I am falling down fools in a spiral
'Round this town of steel
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
Stop, the train is riding down to the station
Where I lived when I was a cool kid
Hey, is it my fault that the fallen embers
Burn down in a spiral
'Round your crown of thieves?
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
And it rides out of town
Oh, it's my road, it's my road, it's my road
It's my road, it's my road, it's my road
And it's my war, it's my war, it's my war
His eyes are open, his eyes are open
Oh, 'cause I want more, I want more, I want more
His eyes are open, his eyes are open
Hey, hey, hey
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
My body tells me, no, but I won't quit
'Cause I want more, 'cause I want more
And it rides out of town

This is a cover of a Young The Giant song, and lyrically, it's about trying to achieve a goal and the struggles to get there.
Behind its origin, Michael Poulsen stated how "When we were in the US, we were driving around in a taxi and this song came on the radio. I was, like, ‘Who is that? That’s an amazing song?’ My tour manager found out that it was Young The Giant, so I checked them out on YouTube, and I thought, ‘Why haven’t I heard of this band?’ I could hear Volbeat playing this song. I thought it would be an interesting song to do, so let’s put our own twist on it. I hope these guys take it as a compliment when they hear it."
