Staring down a 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 a 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 that throttle back It's full steam up ahead On down that 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 are wrong, for playing to win Watch what you're doing now Watch what you're doing now The things that you throw away They won't come again We sat down at that station You were trying to decide Was I your destination? Or just one stop on the ride? We make mistakes Now we pay Can't turn back There ain't no brakeman on this train There ain't no brakeman on this train ...
