Everyday nothing seems to change
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I..
I can't take it no more
Oh, I would this town but I ain't got no where else to go
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news
& I.. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose & I..
It's driving me out of my mind
I'll catch the next train & I.. I'll move on down the line

Whoah I'll be ready now
I'll be ready when my train pulls in
Whoah I'll be ready now
I'll be ready when my train pulls in
I know my time ain't long around here
& I can't live this life again

Walking down the streets you might run across a smilng face
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn & walk away
& I.. Oh Lord it's bringing me down

If things don't change around here, ain't no use in me hanging 'round

Whoah I'll be ready now
I'll be ready when my train pulls in
Whoah I'll be ready now
I'll be ready when my train pulls in
I know my time ain't long around here
& I can't live this life again
