Train
Brothers Moving Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this train
Take it back home again
(Gotta take that train)
Take, take, take
Take this train
Take it back home again
I'm sitting by the tracks near the station
Smoking my last cigarette
And I just gotta wait for this train to arrive
Well this train can take you anywhere
Anywhere at all
Well this train can take you anywhere
This train can take you anywhere you want
Take, take, take
Take this train
Take it back home again
Take, take, take
Take this train
Take it back home again
