[Intro]        [Verse 1] Full blown silence in an empty room A former bride and a former groom A folding table and a folding chair A folded hand of poker there All new directions must go everywhere Big round people in a cool little square You can’t cut it with a boat or a plane Man it’s gonna take a new train [Chorus] You’ll be leaving on a new train Far away from this world of pain And when you look out your window you’ll see Your home your baby and your family No melted ice cubes in a paper cup Hell you’ll be happy you’ll be all shook up The friends that greet you will be simple and plain When you step down from that new train [Instrumental]               [Verse 2] Collected volumes of history say Man makes mistakes most every day The half a pound of chopped ground round Is still a burger when it goes downtown No faded photographs of yesterdays Are in the books that I read these days To fly away from that memory town You must keep both your feet on the ground [Chorus] Cuz you’ll be leaving on a new train Far away from this world of pain And when you look out your window you’ll see Your home your baby and your family No melted ice cubes in a paper cup Hell you’ll be happy you’ll be all shook up The friends that greet you will be simple and plain When you step down from that new train [Instrumental]        [Chorus] I’ll be leaving on a new train Far away from this world of pain The friends that greet me will be simple and plain When I step down from that new train New train New train
