Michael Martin Murphey      From my window shadows of the buildings in the night   Run like a river, broken only by city lights   Running like a thousand whispered lines   Broken only by the ancient railroad ties      Chorus:   Out where the tracks run through the city   Tracks run through the city   I want to be on that train   That'll take me to a place to hide   Where tracks run through the city   Tracks run through the city   Tracks run through the city   And I'm longin' to ride, please let me ride      You know I want to ride that train   Everybody wants to find a brand new life somewhere   I know it's waiting at the end of the track somewhere out there   The end of the rainbow is not meant for me   Just got to find some new simplicity      Chorus      You know I want to ride that train   Let me ride
