Watching the long faces    Riding this run down track    And the lost places    From a dream that never brings them back    And the sad truth is    Nothing but a cold hard fact    Chorus:       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       Repeat Chorus       Away down the low road    A ticket to an empty room    A rendezvous unknown       Repeat Chorus
