If This Train lyrics

If this train just keep on driving I'll never have to get off
I'll just on staring at the infinite sky, I'll never have to stop
This train

All the rocks and trees of Sweden
All the red and yellow houses
Lakes and rivers, slender forests
Keep on passing by
In my mind the miles stretch me
All the stories to unwind
Living for the peaceful moments
In between, they're hard to find

In this aching place I'm hungry
but it's truth alone can feed me
Watch the blue sky teach me vastness
Though my heart heart contains such sadness
Soon I get my bags and guitar
To the show, they're waiting for me
Celebrate the love of life,
The land, the road all singing with me

If this train just keep on driving I'll never have to get off
I'll just on staring at the infinite sky, I'll never have to stop
This train

All the rocks and trees of Sweden
All the red and yellow houses
Lakes and rivers, slender forests
Keep on passing by
In my mind the miles stretch me
All the stories to unwind
Living for the peaceful moments
In between, they're mine to find
