I know that you were never young And I know you probably won’t get old But honey, nobody’s going to hurt you anymore And nobody’s going to make you want to die
But I’ve been making promises I know I’ll never keep One of these days I’m going to leave you in your sleep I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name Baby, I was born on a train
Some roads you only seen at night Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs But some nights the neon gas gets free And turns into walking dead like me
But I’ve been making promises I know I’ll never keep One of these days I’m going to leave you in your sleep I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name Baby, I was born on a train
I called one morning cold and grey You won’t remember anything Some of us don’t believe in time And some of us don’t believe in life
But I’ve been making promises I know I’ll never keep One of these days I’m going to leave you in your sleep I’ll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name Baby, I was born on a train Baby, I was born on a train Baby, I was born on a train Baby, I was born on a train Baby, I was born on a train
