I wish I was a train by Troy Cassar-Daley
[] When I was a little boy I used to lie in my [] bed []
and [] listen for the nine- [] 0-nine []
It [] never ran on Christmas or the day that [] Jesus died
but every other day [] it ran on time []
It always made me lonesome but it [] brought me comfort []
and [] what it did to me [] I can t explain []
And [] as I wander through this harsh and [] gentle world
Oh every now and then I wish I [] was a train []
[Chorus]
[] Roll on roll on into the [] dark night
[] Leavin all my troubles behind []
[] Carryin my soul far, [] far away []
[] Oh every now and then, I [] wish I was a train []
I loaded trucks in Isa rode the dingo [] fences []
cursed the [] ganger on the [] western line []
[] Started throwin punches in a bar at [] Charters Towers
They threw the book at me [] I did my time []
[Bridge]
Cause a [] train don t weep a [] train don t feel
[] heartache [] sadness and pain []
And [] when I die just let [] my spirit ride []
on the [] boxcar of an ever [] rollin train []
[Repeat Chorus]
