0:22I felt a rumble in my heart over the mountains
0:29As the engine ate the spark spitting out the miles
0:36Times when I tried to jump the track
0:39Weight of the world upon my back
0:42Still after all is said and done
0:46This train still runs
0:50It doesn't matter where it's gone
0:53This train still runs
0:56And though the baggage weighs a ton
0:58We carry on
1:02Nothing is forever young
1:07I'm not done his train still runs
1:17I had a friend I left behind back at the station
1:23We used to burn the power lines racing with the wind
1:30But time has the manners of a thief
1:33Young love turns bittersweet
1:37Still we keep that lantern hung this train still runs
1:44It doesn't matter where it's gone
1:47This train still runs
1:50And though the baggage weighs a ton
1:52We carry on
1:57No one is forever young
2:01And I'm not done this train still runs
2:25Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride
2:31Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide
2:37I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side
2:42Sure as a baby loves the teat
2:46Sure as a high heel on concrete
2:49Sure as the songs I've left unsung
2:54This train still runs
2:57It doesn't matter where it's gone
3:00This train still runs
3:05We carry on
3:09No one is forever young
3:14I'm not done this train still runs
I felt a rumble in my heart over the mountains As the engine ate the spark spitting out the miles Times when I tried to jump the track Weight of the world upon my back Still after all is said and done This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on Nothing is forever young I'm not done his train still runs I had a friend I left behind back at the station We used to burn the power lines racing with the wind But time has the manners of a thief Young love turns bittersweet Still we keep that lantern hung this train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on No one is forever young And I'm not done this train still runs Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side Sure as a baby loves the teat Sure as a high heel on concrete Sure as the songs I've left unsung This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs We carry on No one is forever young I'm not done this train still runs
