I'm riding that train to the city I'm gonna have me a real big time There's plenty of things for this boy to see Find a pretty girl who's dressed up fine And there's a whole lotta pride in this smile I can hide There's no place in the world the lights shine as bright I'm riding that train to the city I'm gonna find me one good time tonight I've got bills to pay ain't no joke man And here the rent goes up every year I was up late last night 'cause my neighbours had a fight Somedays I wonder what I'm doin' in this town Sometimes I just can't tell up from down I'm riding that train to the city Hey I'm gonna have me a good time tonight Well time's runnin' out for guys like me they say I best start actin' my age today Friends leavin' town for that suburban quiet down It's true my youth is quickly slippin' away But I feel alive tonight come tomorrow I could be gone So I'll grab my guitar and play another country song I'm riding that train to the city Hey I'm gonna find one more good time tonight I hear that train underground I'm big city bound I'm gonna have me one good time tonight
