Big Train
words by Rain Perry, music by Rain Perry and Mark Hallman ©2013 Precipitous Music/BMI and Blue Racer Music/BMI

I was born with a suitcase in my hand
I’ve been everyplace across this land
When that lonesome whistle starts to blow
A certain kind of man has got to go
Because a certain kind of man can’t be tied down
To a woman or a job or a town
A certain kind of man lives to roam
But that’s the one who’s never found his home

Train, train, keep on flying
Go ahead and pass me by
Big train, roll on through
I’ve got no more use for you

I want to wake up with a smile on my face
Knowing what it is to love a place
Where the water’s sweet and the oaks and the alders sway
And the one I love is hoping I will stay

Train, train, keep on flying
Go ahead and pass me by
Big train, roll on through
I’ve got no more use for you
Train, train, keep on flying
Go ahead and pass me by
Big train, roll on through
I’ve got no more use for you
