The Longest Train
Concrete Cowboys

The longest train I’ve ever seen come rollin’ through this town*

Is passin’ by me slow enough that I could just climb down

From this truck, under the gates and swing up through the doors

Of an open boxcar, settle in on a blanket on the floor

[Chorus:]

And I don’t know what is waiting when that train runs out of track

But here’s my chance to change my luck

No room for doubt, no time to pack

‘Cause who knows when that train is coming back

The longest train I’ve ever seen is calling me to ride

With names of distant cities and graffiti on the side

Places I have never been are scattered down the line

Stories I might live to tell and lives I wish were mine

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]

And now those gates are rising up, with bells and flashing lights

As the longest train I’ve ever seen slowly fades out of sight

Repeat Chorus
