Lyrics
[JACOB] This train is bound for anywhere I'm going there too Don't care much where we end up As long as it's new and free Of everything behind me The rain's been pounding down on me Been hard to see through That fog is gone now And everything's blue And blue and blue and blue Why hang your head and cry? There's miles and miles of sky Choose one And let it swallow you That patch of earth, that person you were Those people you loved They're gone, move on Rise up and above the ground Not back and not down But anywhere They say that home is where your heart is It's not the place you started My heart is anywhere but home These plains, these towns These fields of amber grain go unseen Are filled with people leaving People like me, they know It's time to go Anywhere [CAMEL] Well, look at this Where you headed to, kid? [JACOB, spoken] Wherever the train takes me You mind if I come down? [CAMEL] Don't really care, sorry to say, 'cause You gotta find another train [WADE, spoken] Got no room for bums on this train [CAMEL] The whole country's on the run You think you're the first one to think to bum a ride? Jump the line? [CAMEL, spoken] I think you jumped the gun, son [JACOB, spoken] Tell you what, we can talk about it after you help me inside [CAMEL & JACOB, spoken] Believe, I do feel your pain (And then I'll–) But you gotta find another train [JACOB, spoken] Somebody just give me a hand here, will ya? [ENSEMBLE] Don't be expecting any hand in We ain't giving you no handouts, son It don't matter if you're down and out [CAMEL & ENSEMBLE] His mom can grab my arm (Ooh) Welcome to the party (Ooh) We all got a sob story (Ooh) But you can sob your story that way 'Cause you gotta find another train [JACOB, spoken] Okay, okay, so— [WALTER, spoken] Yeah, yeah, yeah [WALTER] We've all been there before [BARBARA] Some more than others [WALTER & BARBARA] Runnin' from your troubles Well, there ain't no easy way [CAMEL, spoken] Next station, you best skedaddle, we'll be in Utica by sunup [WADE, spoken] But we don't got room for strays [ENSEMBLE] You gotta find another train [WADE, spoken] Better yet, I say we red-light the bum [ENSEMBLE] You gotta find another— [JACOB, spoken] Back off, mister! [JACOB] I'm not here for your amusement Keep pushin' me And I don't know what I might do I'm not lookin' for a job But I'll work a day for food Just a day and I'll be gone I've got nothing left to lose [CAMEL, spoken] You didn't jump just any old train, son This here's the Benzini Brothers' Most Spectacular Show on Earth Welcome to the circus! [JACOB & CAMEL] This train is bound for everywhere (Alright folks, on with the show) Don't care much where we end up (Get ready to haul out) I'm free (A free pair of hands) Of everything (Our little circus) Behind me (Serendipity) [JACOB, CAMEL & ENSEMBLE] Don't stop to think or feel (Don't stop) (Next stop, Utica) Focus on what is real (Don't stop) (I hear it's beautiful this time of the year) Unreal as it may seem to be (Don't stop) (With fields of suckers) [ENSEMBLE] As far as the eye can see [JACOB] That patch of earth, those people you loved They're gone, move on [ENSEMBLE] Move on [JACOB, CAMEL, ENSEMBLE & WALTER] Rise up and above the ground (Whole country's on the run) (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere) (Seems like everyone's) You'll find what you found (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere) I hear it's beautiful this time of year, with fields of suckers (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere) [JACOB & ENSEMBLE] Anywhere! (This train is bound for anywhere) Get me on another train Anywhere! (This train is bound for anywhere) Anywhere! (This train is bound for—) [JACOB] Anywhere!
