I know that you were never young   And I know you probably won't get old   But honey, nobody's going to hurt you anymore   And nobody's going to make you want to die      But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep   One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep   I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name   Baby, I was born on a train      Some roads you only seen at night   Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs   But some nights the neon gas gets free   And turns into walking dead like me      But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep   One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep   I have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name   Baby, I was born on a train      I called one morning cold and grey   You won't remember anything   Some of us don't believe in time   And some of us don't believe in life      But I've been making promises I know I'll never keep   One of these days I'm going to leave you in your sleep   I'll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name   Baby, I was born on a train   Baby, I was born on a train   Baby, I was born on a train   Baby, I was born on a train   Baby, I was born on a train
