Lyrics

[Verse 1] On my way out on a westbound train Well it gets in my blood, it gets in my brain They say all that you need is a dollar and a dream But a lifetime is such a long time to wait [Chorus 1] From the shores of the Atlantic To that evil desert town Unseen forces pull us forward And I'm riding that fast train down Oh yes, I'm riding that fast train down [Verse 2] Spent thirteen years in this old warehouse Well, the boxes come in and the boxes go out I caught my first glimpse of sunlight today When I pinned my hopes on the westbound train [Chorus 2] The conductor holds his wallet While the steward eyes his watch Unseen forces pull us forward As I'm riding that fast train down Oh yes, I'm riding that fast train down [Verse 3] Well, you pull on the arm and the wheels turn round Press on the handle and it all swirls down Yeah, you push on the button, someone comes to ease your pain And you rattle them bones, you're at it again [Chorus 3] So count your winnings, count your losses Pawn your trumpet, hock your crown Unseen forces pull us forward And I'm riding that fast train down Oh yes, I'm riding that fast train down Oh yes, I'm riding that fast train down Oh yes, I'm riding that fast train down
