album: Someday We'll Look Back/I Love Dixie Blues
album: Someday We'll Look Back
album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976
genre: 

(Roger Miller)

I sit alone at my table
And watch all the others have fun
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.

I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.
Train, train don't leave me, oh, train of life.

I got no one to call me their darling
to hug me and call me their hon
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
Just a watchin' the mainline run.

I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.

--- Instrumental ---

Train, train, don't leave me, oh, train of life...
