When My Train Pulls In
Clark Jr. Gary Lyrics

Everyday nothing seems to change
The routine is monotonous and stagnant day after day.

Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old things
There is nothing new or different no matter where he goes.

And I, I can't take it no more
He's fed up and can't endure it any longer.

I would leave this town
He wants to escape and abandon this place.

But I ain't got no where else to go, no
He has no other destination or plan to follow.

Wake up in the morning to more, more bad news
The negative news he hears and sees is a daily torture.

And I sometimes I feel like I was born to lose
He has a pessimistic outlook on life as if he's cursed.

It's driving me out of my mind
The stress and pressure of the current situation is overwhelming.

Gonna catch the next train
He decides to leave on the next train available.

And I move on down the line, yeah
He is heading down a new path or journey towards a new beginning.

I'll be ready now
He is determined to face whatever comes next with bravery and readiness.

I'll be ready when my train pulls in
He is prepared to take on whatever opportunity awaits him on his journey.

I know my time ain't long
He is aware that his time is limited and he needs a change.

And I, I can't live this life again, no, no, no
He is adamant that he won't live through this kind of life again.

Walking down the street you might wanna cross a smiling face
People appear friendly on the outside, but it might be deceitful.

But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn, walk away
People can be treacherous and mistreat you once you leave or are vulnerable.

Oh Lord, it's bringing me down
The negativity and deception of people is causing him to feel down and hopeless.

If things don't change around here
He needs a change in the current environment in order to thrive.

Ain't no use in my hanging 'round, hanging 'round
Staying in this hostile environment serves no purpose.
