[Verse 1]
I never been on a railroad
As many times as they pass me by
I never crashed in the desert or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado

[Chorus 1]
Am I the son? I think I am
Am I the friend? I think I am
Am I the man? I think I want to be, hey

[Verse 2]
I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
And I can't remember a warm December

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
And I'm here for your fantasy, sanity
I am here, I am

[Chorus 1]
Am I the son? I think I am
Am I the father? That I think I am
Am I the man? I think I want to be

[Chorus 2]
I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin' in or whether or not I'm walkin' out
I'm always here for you, hey, hey

And

[Chorus 2]

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
