[Verse 1]
I'm riding that train to the city
I'm gonna have me a real big time
There's plenty of things for this boy to see
Find a pretty girl who's dressed up fine
And there's a whole lotta pride in this smile I can hide
There's no place in the world the lights shine as bright
I'm riding that train to the city
I'm gonna find me one good time tonight

[Verse 2]
I've got bills to pay ain't no joke man
And here the rent goes up every year
I was up late last night 'cause my neighbours had a fight
[unclear]
Somedays I wonder what I'm doin' in this town
Sometimes I just can't tell up from down
I'm riding that train to the city
Hey I'm gonna have me a good time tonight

[Verse 3]
Well time's runnin' out for guys like me they say
I best start actin' my age today
Friends leavin' town for that suburban quiet down
It's true my youth is quickly slippin' away
But I feel alive tonight come tomorrow I could be gone
So I'll grab my guitar and play another country song
I'm riding that train to the city
Hey I'm gonna find one more good time tonight
[Outro]
I hear that train underground
I'm big city bound
I'm gonna have me one good time tonight
