I’m moving out, I’m looking in
I don’t need anyone to ask me where I’ve been
I’m light on time, with a heavy heart
It’s about a woman, I’ll tell you from the start
She was a girl with an old man’s soul
She got near me and that’s when I lost control
It’s a great big world with lots to see
She was bound to see it someday with or without me
Tell the boys I won’t be round, that I’m tired of this ol’ town
I spent all my money on a train that’s city bound
She loves to dance she loves to groove
She’s the kind of girl that always has to move
She lets it out she takes it in
And once she’s been somewhere she don’t go back again
She plays guitar she loves to sing
She has a phone but always lets it ring
The latest thing, well that’s nothing new
Some times you play the blues, some times the blues play you
Don’t you make a sound, about where I can be found
I’ll be saying my goodbyes from a train that’s city bound
These ol’ wheels are rolling slow
They’ve got a lot of miles and I think they’re gonna blow
Don’t want know but even so
Nothing’s going to stop me from where I need to go
My head is hangin’ low
Most time’s it’s just for the show
This country boy is getting loud
I’m trading the wind through the trees for the roar of the crowd
Tell the boys I won’t be round, that I’m tired of this ol’ town
I spent all my money on a train that’s city bound
Now don’t you make a sound about where I can be found
I’m saying my goodbyes from a train that’s city bound
