Life is like a train, rollin' down the track

With a one way ticket, ain't no turning back

Looking out the window, it all goes by so fast

What used to be the future, soon becomes the past

Life is like a train

Life is like a train

Life is like a train, rollin' down the track

With a one way ticket, ain't no turnin' back

It's hard to understand this whole human race

Runnin' like a cheetah at a break neck pace

We all know what's waiting up around the bend

You gotta rest a while and take a breath my friend

Life is like a train

Life is like a train

Life is like a train rolling down the track

With a one way ticket, ain't no turnin back

There's gonna come a time when you've got to slow your roll

Get up off the train and go out for a stroll

Count your blessings and smell the flowers

Make a minute last for hours

Life is like a train

Life is like a train

Life is like a train, rollin' down the track

With a one way ticket, ain't no turnin' back

This train is filled with people moving to and fro

Busy busy busy where they're going I do not know

Trying to win the race and be the cream of the crop

The only thing for certain, they're going to blow their top

Black Smoke pouring out of the stack

Those old steel rails going clickity clack

Mr. Conductor keep one hand on the brake

This trains moving too fast for heavens sake

Black Smoke pouring out of the stack

Those old steel rails going clickity clack

Mr. Conductor keep one hand on the brake

This trains moving too fast for heavens sake
