Ain't No Brakeman

Staring down the double line
We're flowing off behind
I'll never see your face no more
I left you back there on that shore

We had our chance
It slipped away
Don't call my name
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train

There ain't no engineer
To pull the throttle back
It's full steam up ahead
Or down the windy track

There ain't no way
To turn around
From all the pain
There ain't no brakeman on this train

I'm not saying that
You were wrong for play to win
Watch what you're doing now
Watch what you're doing now
The things that you throw away
Won't come again

We sat down at the station
You were trying to decide
Was I your destination
Or just one stop on the ride?

We made mistakes
Now we're paying
Can't turn back
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train
No brakeman on this train
On this train
I said this train
No brakeman on this train
On this train
On this train
No brakeman on this train
This train
Right this train
Right this train
