New Train Lyrics - Lost Dogs And Mixed Blessings - John Prine

Full blown silence in an empty room 

A former bride and a former groom 

A folding table and a folding chair 

A folded hand of poker there 

All new directions must go everywhere 

Big round people in a cool little square 

You can't cut it with a boat or a plane 

Man it's gonna take a new train 

You'll be leaving on a new train 

Far away from this world of pain 

And when you look out your window you'll see 

Your home your baby and your family 

No melted ice cube in a paper cup 

Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up 

The friends that greet you will be simple and plain 

When you step down from that new train

Collected volumes of history say 

Man makes mistakes most everyday 

The half a pound of chopped ground round 

Is still a burger when it goes downtown 

No faded photographs of yesterdays 

Are in the books that I read these days 

To fly away from that memory town 

You must keep both your feet on the ground 

Cause you'll be leaving on a new train 

Far away from this world of pain 

And when you look out your window you'll see 

Your hom your baby and your family 

No melted ice cube in a paper cup 

Hell you'll be happy you'll be all shook up 

The riends that greet you will be simple and plain 

When you step down from that new train

I'll be leaving on a new train 

Far away from this world of pain 

The friends that greet me will be simple and plain 

When I step down from that new train 

New train, new train
