Bought a one-way ticket on the mainline
I could hear that train comin' round the bend
Need to get as far away
As I can get from yesterday
Ride these tracks to the end

Ride on the silver train
All my lovin' was in vain
Ride on, silver train

Left my heart back at the station
Almost stayed, Lord knows I tried
Told you that I loved you
I'd be back and I'd be true
I looked right in your eyes and lied

Ride on the silver train
All my lovin' was in vain
Ride on, silver train
Ride on, silver train

Poundin' spikes and layin' tracks
I ain't ever comin' back
Ride on
Ride on, silver train

All aboard the silver train
Got the travelin' jones once again
Need to get as far away
As I can get from yesterday
I'll ride these tracks right to the end

Ride on the silver train
All my lovin' was in vain
Ride on, silver train
Ride on, silver train
Ride on, silver train
