Train to Eternity

I left the station many years ago,

excited for what lay ahead

She stayed behind, so many miles although

I close my eyes and there she is

These wheels roll on from track to track

I ride across the land

Every mile brings me closer

The final stop is glory

On this train... to eternity

I'll ride this train to eternity (and all the way down)

People get on and they get off

Sometimes we become friends

But they cannot stay, for in the end

Our destinations aren't the same

Others try to ride along

But find they cannot pay the fare

Sometimes we pull into a station

But if you get off, you're nowhere

On this train... to eternity

I'll ride this train to eternity (and all the way down)

Long ago I got my ticket

Never to be a slave

And I go the direction that I want

From greatness to the grave

On this train... to eternity

I'll ride this train to eternity

I'll ride this train to eternity

I'll ride this train to eternity (and all the way down)
