I was seventeen when the train passed through
Young I had nothing better to do
I was lost when I saw his pretty smile
He said baby can I hold you for a while
Guess I didn't know any better
In Baton Rouge all I found was a letter
He left me without saying goodbye
Alone on a train a little girl left to cry
Chorus:
And Im on a Train bound for nowhere
where its going oh I don't know
I should have said no but I didn't
I should have let go but I didn't
and now Im on a train bound for nowhere
I saw your ghost in California
Heard your voice in a valley in Arizona
it took miles and miles to get you out of my mind
yeah i still think of you from time to time
When Im on a train bound for nowhere
where its going oh I don't know
Should of said no but I didn't
Should of let go but I didn't
and now Im on a train bound for nowhere
Bridge:
And even after all this time I wonder if you think of me
well I thank the good lord for the day you set me free
