There's lightning in the sky
And the houses are on fire
The sun is getting cold
And the river's getting higher
So I keep moving on
I'm watching where I'm driving
I'm staying right on coast
I'm taking all of my things
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I gotta make it back
Yea yea
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
So much is in my path
And the preachers right before me
But yesterday has passed
Committed to my memory
So what else can I say
You're doing what you're giving
And I'm fighting everyday
I'm loving and I'm leaving
And I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
Yea yea
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
I'm on my way
Felt the wind at my back
Rolling down the track
Now I tell myself
But baby have no fear
Cause changes what you make it
And home is getting near
So close that I can taste it
I know this train
Won't fall off the track
Cause I, I'm gonna make it back
Yea yea
I know this train
Won't fall off the track
Cause I, I'm gonna make it back
Yea I, I'm gonna make it back
