There Was Never A Train

Clint Black · The Hard Way [BMG] [1992]

Given up on travelin'

It's driving me insane

Riding alone on a midnight train.



Now a mind can wonder

And that's far from being free

'Cause when that lonesome sunset whisle blows

This is where I'll be.



I hopped a westbound for San Antone

From there to Santa Fe

And it's a thousand miles from there to home

And there's a thousand things to say.



About a man bound to ramble

And a dream he's got to lose

That'll break this fever, set him free

And bring him home to you.



Somewhere I slipped off track

But the world keeps going by

But there never was a train

That couldn't try.



There'll be nobody waiting

My goodbyes are too long gone

From that moment at the station

When I left from right to wrong.



But now I finally nearly made it

It was a long uphill climb

To right back to where I started from

But I think I can this time.



Somewhere I slipped off track

But the world keeps going by

But there never was a train

That couldn't try.



Somewhere I slipped off track

I was thinking I could fly

But there never was a train

That couldn't try...
