[Verse 1]
Every time I hear that whistle whine
From a lonesome locomotive coming down the line
It carries my mind away to another place in time
When train traveling across the land was the only way to fly
Am I a fool to think it glamorous
Box-caring like a hobo, it must have been rough
But a simpler way of life is what it really means to me
When we weren't so dependent on money to bee free

[Chorus]
I hear you train, are you traveling my way
Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday
Who knows what I could see from that old time machine
But there you go again train traveling
There you go again train traveling

[Verse 2]
I'm lying on a rotten wooden floor
Smell yesterday's whiskey here rattling at the door
Railroad man looking for me I'm scared as I can be
I open my eyes and realize its just another dream

[Chorus]

[Outro]
There you go again train traveling
