lyrics

My pockets are half empty, my head is always full
Of crazy dreams and things I’ve left undone
Standing on the platform, I leave it all behind
Lift me Flying Scotsman, and take the trouble from my mind

And there’s no ticket back - Only miles of endless track
Only steam and smoke that drift away
It’s a one-way fare, it won’t take me anywhere
But I think it will - waiting on a train

he north it don’t call many, so I travel on my own
And circumstances tell me I might not be back again
There is no destination, there’s only traveling town to town
I hope you’ll always be there, baby, even when I’m not around

‘Cause there’s no ticket back - Only miles of endless track
Only steam and smoke that drift away
It’s a one-way fare, it won’t take me anywhere
But I think it will - waiting on a train

My bag it lies so lightly on my shoulder
An old guitar and penny souvenirs
I could leave it all behind if I were bolder
But they’ve been my best companions through the years

And there’s no ticket back - Only miles of endless track
Only steam and smoke that drift away
It’s a one-way fare, it won’t take me anywhere
But I think it will - waiting on a train
