About That Train Lyrics

30 past 7 and close to 11 it's a ritual every day

When they pass through you can feel the ground shakin too as we all stop just and wait

It's bigger than us, bigger than planes and trucks and it finally made its way

through thick and thin, with a couple of inches of paint

Just some boxcars lined up

But they mean so much

Until we meet again

I think it's safe to say

We couldn't live without

As it moves about

And without a doubt

I can hear it comin now

A few houses down

Picking up and letting go

It's got a lesson of its own

And even now it just goes to show

Its always stayed the same

Something about just getting gone and getting out of town

Something about that train

Black and white and right and wrong hadn't always stayed the same

I can't believe 20 years passed and we all went and moved away

Ash to ashes and dust to dust; destination never changed

When i get to countin in my head I'm 13 all over again

Just some boxcars lined up

Still they mean so much

Until we meet again

I think it's safe to say

We couldn't live without

As it moves about

And without a doubt

I can hear it comin now

A few houses down

Picking up and letting go

It's got a lesson of its own

And even now it just goes to show

Its always stayed the same

Something about just getting gone and getting out of town

Something about that train
