People born here well they die here too

Too many years same point of view

Got to hear some different sounds

Got to get me out of this town



When the train comes



Mama dreams of paintin' the sky

Daddy shakes his head can't figure out why

Both think I'm crazy and they tell me so but

Mama's face say she wanna go



When the train comes



Got a boy who wants to be my man

I try to tell him he don't understand

His world is measured in acres of land

I tell him goodbye he won't let go of my hand

When the train comes



No more dry seasons

My life will be my own

No more wishin' on rainbows

Or the trains goin' by



Moments come and I can see

Train in the distance comin' for me

I look back one last glance

Mama says girl it's your only chance



When the train comes
