when my train pulls in

clark, jr., gary

everyday nothing seems to change

everywhere i go i keep seeing the same old things and i

i can't take it no more

oh

i would leave this town

but i ain't got no where else to go

wake up in the morning to more

more bad news and i

sometimes i feel like i was born to lose and i

it's driving me out of my mind

gonna catch the next train and i

and move on down the line

whoah i'll be ready now

i'll be ready when my train pulls in

whoah i'll be ready now

i'll be ready when my train pulls in

i know my time ain't long around here and i

i can't live this life again

walking down the street you might wanna cross a smiling face

but they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn and walk away and i

oh lord

it's bringing me down

if things don't change around here

ain't no use in my hanging 'round

whoah i'll be ready now

i'll be ready when my train pulls in

whoah i'll be ready now

i'll be ready when my train pulls in

i know my time ain't long around here and i

i can't live this life again
