Lyrics
Ride That Train
Words & Music © Grant Maloy Smith
I still dream?
But I can't sleep without you?
I still roam?
But I'm not free
?I still rise?
Even when I'm falling
?Don't you wait?
Don't wait for me??
Ride that train?
Light that flame without me
?Ride that train
?Break that chain to me
??I still love
?Yes, I still love you?
I still ache?
But I don't seem to care?
You were all?
All I ever wanted
?Don't look back
You ain't headed there??
Ride that train?
Light that flame without me
?Ride that train
?Break that chain to me
??There's no sky?
No clouds above me
?No fear?
Or chores to do
?And no wings for me to fly on
?Fly on high
?Back to you
Ride that train?
Light that flame without me
?Ride that train
?Break that chain to me
