[Vesre 1]
Watching the long faces riding this rundown track
And the lost places from a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Verse 2]
Counting the burned bridges, trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace falling from around my neck
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Bridge]
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
Watching the long faces riding this rundown track
And the lost places from a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Verse 2]
Counting the burned bridges, trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace falling from around my neck
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Bridge]
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
[Chorus]
I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there to find me inside this blue train
