I sit alone at my table
And watch all the others have fun
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.

I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.
Train, train don't leave me, oh, train of life.

I got no one to call me their darling
to hug me and call me their hon
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
Just a watchin' the mainline run.

I'm tired of havin' no future
Just livin' on things that I've done
And I'm tired of sittin' on the side of track
A watchin' the mainline run.

Train, train, don't leave me, oh, train of life.
