Caught my train at the station
The smoke stack's burning low
Put the coal upon the fire
Cause this train's got to go
Cause time waits for no man
To the land of milk and honey
Over the mountain tops
Happiness happened yesterday
And today never stops
On this iron railway wagon
That the devil rocks
Chorus:
I caught the last train to tomorrow
And this train's not slowing down
Many miles behind me
I've got many more to go
And the stranger in my mirror
Resembles my father so
The boiler's burning hot
Don't let the engine blow
<CHORUS>
The hourglass grows clearer
I remember the sands of time
I own every one of them
Every setting sun is mine
And the longing to live
Is now far behind
<CHORUS>
