New morning bright sunshine
Just another day
Miles between my heart and mind
My soul knows the way
A stray thought could derail the ride
That would be a shame
I'll lay low and fall behind
Unless I beat that train
The steam that makes my engine whine
(Sometimes) Gets the best of me
I should just enjoy the ride
Not let it worry me
Get to the station just to find
It was all in vain
A dollar short and a day behind
Trying to beat that train
It's always rolling down the line
(No need to) Hurry up and wait
This life will up and pass you by
You can't outrun your fate
Someday I'll reach my own demise
Lord knows I'll be 10 minutes late
Ever since the dawn of time
Ain't nobody ever beat that train
Ever since the dawn of time
Ain't nobody ever beat that train."
