Artist/Band: John Prine
Lyrics for Song: New Train
Lyrics for Album: Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings [1995]



Full blown silence in an empty room

A former bride and a former groom

A folding table and a folding chair

A folded hand of poker there

All new directions must go everywhere

Big round people in a cool little square

You can't cut it with a boat or a plane

Man it's gonna take a new train



You'll be leaving on a new train

Far away from this world of pain

And when you look out your window you'll see

Your home your baby and your family

No melted ice cube in a paper cup

Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up

The friends that greet you will be simple and plain

When you step down from that new train



Collected volumes of history say

Man makes mistakes most everyday

The half a pound of chopped ground round

Is still a burger when it goes downtown

No faded photographs of yesterdays

Are in the books that I read these days

To fly away from that memory town

You must keep both your feet on the ground



Cause you'll be leaving on a new train

Far away from this world of pain

And when you look out your window you'll see

Your hom your baby and your family

No melted ice cube in a paper cup

Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up

The riends that greet you will be simple and plain

When you step down from that new train



I'll be leaving on a new train

Far away from this world of pain

The friends that greet me will be simple and plain

When I step down from that new train

New train, new train
