Train
3 Doors Down · 3 Doors Down [2008]
'cause things just ain't the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
I don't want to watch the world spinnin'
I want to be spinning with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine
Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
Put me on a train mama
'cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leaving today
There's a world that's out there waitin'
And I know that it's a chance I'm takin'
Put me on a train mama
I'm leaving today
'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine
Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
God knows how long I'll be gone
But maybe one day this train will bring me home
Put me on a train mama
Ooo put me on a train mama
Put me on a train mama
I'm leaving today
'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine
Lord I know it's a chance that I take
But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
About Train
"Train" by 3 Doors Down stands as a defining anthem of the mid-2000s nu-metal and alternative rock landscape, characterized by its driving rhythm and the band's signature blend of heavy distortion with melodic vocal delivery. Released on their 2008 album, the track exemplifies the group's evolution from their earlier heavy metal roots toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound that dominated charts across the United States. The song's structure, featuring a prominent guitar riff and soaring chorus, became a staple of live performances and MTV rotations, cementing the band's status as a leading force in the genre during that era. Its enduring popularity reflects the broader cultural impact of the mid-2000s rock revival, where 3 Doors Down successfully merged aggressive instrumentation with accessible songwriting to create a timeless recording that resonated with audiences worldwide.
