This Train Still Runs Lyrics - Janis Ian

I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains 

As the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles 

Times when I tried to jump the track 

Weight of the world upon my back 

Still after all is said and done - this train still runs 

refrain: 

It doesn't matter where it's gone 

This train still runs 

And though the baggage weighs a ton 

We carry on 

Nothing is forever young - I'm not done

This train still runs 

I had a friend I left behind, back at the station 

We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind 

But time has the manners of a thief 

Young love turns bittersweet 

Still we keep that lantern hung - this train still runs 

It doesn't matter where it's gone 

This train still runs 

And though the baggage weighs a ton 

We carry on 

No one is forever young - I'm not done 

This train still runs 

Got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride 

Got a motor rolling over to an easy glide 

I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side 

Sure as a baby loves the teat 

Sure as a high heel on concrete 

Sure as the songs I've left unsung 

This train still runs
