Light suitcase and a smile
Stepping up into relief
Battle’s over for a while
It’s gonna be this train and me
Got a real good book to read
Piece of paper and a pen
Tickets, money, all I need
To be free
This train’s my friend
I just love that feeling
When it picks up speed
Like the lights dimming before a movie
A seed that’s growing
Going to my baby
I have earned my keep
Lots of work, too little sleep
I deserve this leave
Going to my baby
Countryside is racing by
Wheels beating to my heart
Foreign couple, bumpy ride
And it feels like another start
I just love that yearning
This churning down below
Now it’s twisting and turning
I feel it grow
A river that’s flowing
Going to my baby
