This Train Ain't Bound For Nowhere Lyrics - Tom Scullin

The engineer moved slowly 

as he talked among his dials 

turning this and tapping that 

a thousand different trials 

now I can't say that I understood 

but every word he said 

had the sound of something ringing true 

while rolling through my head 

"CHORUS" 

This train ain't bound for nowhere 

ain't just riding round the bend 

and I'm not sure where it's going 

but I sure where know I've been 

The conductor started walking 

with his arms behind his back 

very sure his hands were pure 

white collar still intact his stated inspiration 

was a studied ticket please 

but if you needed company 

he'd set your mind at ease 

"CHORUS" 

This train ain't bound for nowhere 

ain't just riding round the bend 

and I'm not sure where it's going 

but I sure where know I've been 

So choose the road you travel on 

with care before you go 

when trouble lies around the bend 

they'll always let you know 

now I can't say that I understood 

but every word they said 

had the sound of something ringing true 

while rolling through my head 

"CHORUS" 

This train ain't bound for nowhere 

ain't just riding round the bend 

and I'm not sure where it's going 

but I sure where know I've been 

This train ain't bound for nowhere
