Been On A Train Lyrics - Singles - Laura Nyro

Been on a train 

And did you hear the whistle blow? 

Been on a train north 

Baby did you hear the whistle blow? 

I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug 

And die slow. 

Been on a train 

And I'm never gonna be the same. 

There's a bright light in the north wind 

Gonna bring you home 

Mister there's a bright light in the north wind 

It's gonna bring you home 

He said: "Sweet darling woman 

Leave me alone". 

Been on a train 

And I'm never gonna be the same. 

You got more tracks on you baby 

Than the tracks of this train 

You got no guts, no gospel 

And you got no brains 

He said: "I got just one thing 

Gonna soothe my pain?" 

No, no 

Damn you mister 

And I dragged him out the door 

Damn you mister 

And I dragged him out the door. 

He died in the morning sun 

And I ain't going north no more. 

I suspect there's a train 

Going north in a month or two 

I still hear his words 

He said: "There's nothing left to say or do" 

But mister you were wrong 

And I'm gonna sing my song for you. 

Been on a train 

And I'm never gonna be the same.
