This train it left the station a long, long time ago This train it left the station a long, long time ago And where this engine's pulling me, I'm damned if I can know An engine is a furnace that burns both day and night I feed it with despair and hope and pain and sheer delight And when it's all been said and done I hope that I've done right Stoke that mighty engine stoke it till it's hot Stoke that mighty engine stoke it till it's hot Feel the wheels under the floor pulling with all they've got Me And Wally walking barefoot by the railroad track with a shiny new nickel to put on the rail And wait until the train came back we'd watch those big old wheels go by And slap each other on the back That was another country that was another time So far back through these rumbling cars I can hardly believe it's mine Still I can see them rolling Rolling in the bright sunshine Nobody knows that country Nobody knows but me Nobody knows that country nobody knows but me Everybody's got some country that nobody else can see. In the club car sits my Daddy smoking on his big old pipe Telling stories about the war and his eyes are flashing bright Playing on his banjo mandolin on a long ago and distant night. This train is hauling memories Of everywhere I've been Every mountain I have climbed And every mortal sin Out to where the steel rails meet And each new day begins Nobody knows that country nobody knows but me Nobody knows that country nobody knows but me Everybody's got some country that nobody else can see. This train left the station a long long time ago This train it left the station along long time ago and where this engine is pulling me I'm damned if I can know
