[Verse 1]
I am on my way on a train
Steaming along in the rain
From the life I lived before
I have a tear in my eye
Sometimes it's easy to cry
Though I'm not a child anymore

[Chorus]
Can't stop the train from rolling
Or make the wheels turn slow
You know I had to go
Can't stop the train from rolling
And neither snow or rain
Could get me back again

[Verse 2]
I am on the run from my home
Somehow I'll make it alone
If I'm strong enough today
You know I had to go on, whoa-oh
Pray for me while I'm all gone
Think of me sometime anyway

[Chorus]
Can't stop the train from rolling
Or make the wheels turn slow
You know I had to go
Can't stop the train from rolling
And neither snow or rain
Could get me back again
