I’m heading out on a slow moving train
I’m going on to that same old place 
Freedom calling, is calling to me    
Reaching out but never getting to see  

I pulled out of Texas in the driving rain
I’m heading to nowhere on a slow moving train

I blew my money on making it big
Like a fool I kept taking the hit
Not so lucky, my pockets ran dry    
Losing out, always chasing bright lights

I pulled out of Texas in the driving rain
I’m still going nowhere on a slow moving train  

Life rolls along like a slow moving train  
Takes forever to reach that place
Never ending these tracks of mine
I’ll keep on searching til the end of the line

I pulled out of Texas in the driving rain
I’m still going nowhere on a slow moving train  

I pulled out of Texas in the driving rain
And I’ll keep on riding on that slow moving train
