Every time I hear that lonesome train roll down the track
Going away to unknown destinations
I believe there's someone out there making the great escape
Just moving on, suddenly gone and so unexpectedly
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you
And it's a shadow on a sidewalk, someone like you
In a blink of an eye, waving goodbye
It's time you made your getaway
In a suburb somewhere someone's quietly planning their getaway
Traveling light, in case they might get a change of heart
It's the bravest move they'll ever make, but they have to make the break
That's the risk that they take, so don't hesitate, then so unexpectedly
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you
And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone you knew
It's time you made your getaway
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you
And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you
It's time you made your getaway
You'll make the great escape
Get out that door before it's too late
Hear that lonesome train
The lonesome train
(Ray Davies) Every time I hear that lonesome train roll down the track Going away to unknown destinations I believe there's someone out there making the great escape Just moving on, suddenly gone and so unexpectedly It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on a sidewalk, someone like you In a blink of an eye, waving goodbye It's time you made your getaway In a suburb somewhere someone's quietly planning their getaway Traveling light, in case they might get a change of heart It's the bravest move they'll ever make, but they have to make the break That's the risk that they take, so don't hesitate, then so unexpectedly It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone you knew It's time you made your getaway It might hit you on a sunny afternoon Without a warning there's a thought, it just comes over you And it's a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you It's time you made your getaway You'll make the great escape Get out that door before it's too late Hear that lonesome train The lonesome train Explain Request ×
