The Blue Train Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Watching the long faces 

Riding this rundown 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
