[Verse 1]
There's lightning in the sky
And the houses are on fire
The sun is getting cold
And the river's getting higher

So I keep moving on
I'm watching where I'm driving
I'm staying right on course
And taking all the miles in

[Chorus]
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
'Cause I gotta make it back
Yeah yeah, I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
'Cause I, I gotta make it back

[Verse 2]
There's so much in my path
And your picture's right before me
Yesterday has passed
Committed to my memory

So what else can I say?
You deal with what you're given
And I'm fighting every day
On loving and I'm living
[Chorus]
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
'Cause I gotta make it back
Yeah yeah, I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
'Cause I, I gotta make it back

[Bridge]
I'm on my way
Got the wind at my back
Rolling down the track

[Verse 3]
Now I tell myself, baby, have no fear
'Cause change is what you make it
And home is getting near
So close that I can taste it

[Chorus]
Well, I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
'Cause I gotta make it back
Yeah yeah, I know this train
Won't fall off the track
'Cause I, I'm gonna make it back
Yeah, I'm, I'm gonna make it back
