Where does the strong man hide
When he doesn't have the strength to stand anymore?
He's grabbing that coat and hat, headed out the door
The weatherman was wrong again
Steps out into the rain, it sparks a grin
The water seeps into the cracks of his leather skin
The whistle blows in the distance
Just like a northern wind
Always knows where it's going
But never where it's been
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
They built that house on the hill
Down by the tracks after the war
Every time he rolls back to town
She reminds him what he's fighting for
Could always use the money
But knows damn well it don't grow on a tree
Always moving forward like that big machine
The whistle blows in the distance
Just like a northern wind
Always knows where it's going
But never where it's been
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
The whistle blows in the distance
Just like a northern wind
Always knows where it's going
But never where it's been
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again

The whistle blows in the distance
Just like a northern wind
Always knows where it's going
But never where it's been
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
There goes that long black train
Long black train again
