Come on and ride the train
Step on board, take your ticket, no two are the same
You'll soon be going for a ride
There's nowhere to run, no place to hide
You're riding riding riding on the train
But you try to check your ticket
And you don't know what it means
Will you get to sit on velvet, and dine on fine cuisine
Or is your place to be upon a worn out wooden seat
With a slice of old and crusty bread, your only food to eat
Come on and ride the train
The doors are closed the whistle's blowin'
Now you must remain
The locomotive's on a roll
Just some things you cant control
You're riding riding riding on the train
So you ask an older passenger
How long this ride will be
He says sorry son I cant say there is no guarantee
It might be the next station, we'll be there in no time
But maybe if you're lucky
You can stay till the end of the line
Then you take a walk all through the train
Each boxcar one by one
Most are filled with people sayin', "this rides just for fun.
Why think about tomorrow when you've got today instead
Sit back enjoy the view
There's miles and miles of rail ahead"
Ride the train, oh ride the train, come on everybody, ride the train
Ride the train, oh ride the train, come on everybody, ride the train
But one car seems so different, inhabited by few
Who say there is no time to waste
We're only passing through
The choices that you make today are all that's gonna last
The train is moving down the track
And its moving awful fast
Come on and ride the train
Step on board, take your ticket, no two are the same
You'll soon be going for a ride
There's nowhere to run, no place to hide
You're riding riding riding on the train
