Watching the long faces riding this run down track   And the lost places from a dream that never brings them back   And the sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact      I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train      Counting the burned bridges trailing this rusted wreck   As our back pages scatter in the dust we left   Like a pearl necklace falling from around my neck      I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train      Away down the low road a ticket to an empty room   A rendezvous unknown      I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   And I'm taking it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train      I'm riding the blue train over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train
