I’m sitting in this big black train Leaving the town that drove me insane And now I’m heading for the countryside Friends are waiting there for me And everything will be ok I’m dreaming as the train rolls through the night
Big black train - carry me home Big black train - I’ve been away too long I’m a country boy who moved to town for a girl who was slippin’ around And now I’m glad I’m on my way back home
This big town has too many cars Neonlights and fancy bars You couldn’t even see the stars at night And my baby came home every night Drunk as hell and eager to fight Her lipstick told me she ain’t doin’ me right
Big black train - carry me home Big black train - I’ve been away too long I’m a country boy who moved to town for a girl who was slippin’ around And now I’m heading for the countryside
