I posted a demo of this song 9 years ago. I went back in the past year and prepared the final version for the Americana Blues album.

Changing Trains

Changing Trains
The train of life keeps moving
Up and down this line
I’m staring through the window at the rain
Wheels may be turning
I’m standing still
Cutting off a rusty ball and chain
Now the clouds are breaking
Sun starts to shine

Chorus:
Racing down the platform
Leaving all behind
Made my break
No more remains
Ticket in my pocket
Running hard and free
Won’t look back
I’m changing trains

Never did convince myself
This life was meant for me
Though others seemed to know the score
Secret dreams of freedom
Pounding in my chest
A click-clack beat I can’t ignore
Time accelerating
Soon I’ll be gone
Chorus

Don’t know my destination
Don’t know when I’ll arrive
Don’t care if I’m late now that’s a fact
Some trains are built for distance
Some trains are built for speed
Some trains are made to jump the track
Hear the whistle blowing
Time for me to go
Chorus
