I can hear the whistle blowing across the land
I can see the engineer wavnig his hand
Listen to that engine's rumbling sound
Look up yonder see that train roll across the ground
I can see the smoke stack rising way up high
Drifting away to the endless blue sky
That mightly locomotive is a-coming steadily
It won't be too long when home is where I'll be
And that ol' train is a-coming
To carry me back home
Back to the place where I was born
And I can see that train a-coming
It's coming down that track
Coming to take me back
Well the train is near the station and it's slowing down
The passengers aboard are a-looking around
As the train comes to a stop it lets pressure off its steam
Sending through the station a whistling scream
I can hear the doors as the people leave the cars
A crowd from different places near and far
With the sun beating down it's a little bit past noon
I grab my ticket and my bags 'cause that train is boarding soon
And that ol' train is a-coming
To carry me back home
Back to the place where I was born
And I can see that train a-coming
It's coming down that track
Coming to take me back
The people at the station are getting in line
That train is primed and ready and it's looking mighty fine
And when that engineer gets to shouting "All aboard!"
I gotta be the first one in 'cause I can't wait no more
I can hear the sounds as they close the doors
That engine is a starting picking up steam once more
And once again that lonesome whistle blasted through the air
I feel a sense of peace 'cause soon I will be there
And that ol' train is a-coming
To carry me back home
Back to the place where I was born
And I can see that train a-coming
It's coming down that track
Coming to take me back
Guitar Break
That ol' train is a-coming
To carry me back home
Back to the place where I was born
And I can see that train a-coming
It's coming down that track
Coming to take me back
Yeah it's coming to take me back
That train is a-coming to take me back
