Put me on the train mama
'Cause things just ain't the same no more
Put me on the train mama
I'm leavin' today

Well I don't want to watch the world spinnin'
I want to be spinning with it
Put me on the train mama
I'm leavin' today

'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Put me on the train mama
'Cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on the train mama
Well I'm leaving today

And there's a world that's out there waitin'
And I know that it's a chance I'm takin'
Put me on the train mama
I'm leaving today

'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there oh, it's gonna be mine

God knows how long I'll be gone
But maybe one day the train will bring me home

Put me on the train mama
Oh put me on the train mama
Put me on the train mama
I'm leaving today

'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there oh, and it's gonna be mine

Oh put me on a train mama
'Cause I'm leavin' today
