Lyrics

Southbound Train

I find myself up on this train
I’m running from my loneliness, running from my pain
I need a place that’s safe
And a place that I know
This southbound train is my second home

Looking out this window as I ride
Watching fields of horses and cattle passing by
I don’t know where I’m going
And I don’t know where I’ve been
But I find myself on this southbound train again

I boarded this train to find myself again
I stepped on this train to clear my mind
Riding along watching time pass by
Sitting here listening to John Prine

Many people are sitting on this train
Each and every one of us is running from some kind of pain
How far we need to ride
Before we are set free
I don’t think that is something I will see

I boarded this train to find myself again
I stepped on this train to clear my mind
Riding along watching time pass by
Sitting here listening to John Prine

I find myself up on this train
I’m running from my loneliness, running from my pain
I need a place that’s safe
And a place that I know
This southbound train is my second home
I need a place that’s safe
And a place that I know
This southbound train is my second home
This southbound train is my second home
This southbound train is my second home
