Sometimes I feel I'm just a rider on this train
I ride from dusk to dawn
At best I can document the sorrow and the pain
Before this train pulls on
Long ago I quit trying to be the engineer
Ain't got the spirit nor the sway
Just sit in the bar dodgin bullets flyin' by
While sharp dressed women look away
It's the ladies of the evening and those living in the streets
Workers in the fields and junkies staying clean
People who don't have much to give, them's that gives the most
I travel now from town to town, ridin' up the coast
I'm just a rider on this train
I'm just a rider on the Amtrack of my life
Don't (often) get to drive this train
Whatever destination seems not my right to choose
Just ride these rails in the rain
A halfway house on a snowy winter night
A lady in the doorway says 'Hey handsome, lookin fine'!
She ain't sellin, just brighten'n up my day
And lets her kindness shine
It's the ladies of the evening and those living in the streets
Workers in the fields and junkies staying clean
People who don't have much to give, them's that gives the most
I travel now from town to town, ridin' up the coast
I'm just a rider on this train
I know a guy who needs a better pair of jeans
I give him some that's worn and faded from the seams
He's so happy that he hugs me, and I swear
I wish I'd given more
How many millions for a Washington campaign?
An ego driven capital of extroverts and shame
A little bit diverted would be a miracle to those
In the alleys of this city and a run down halfway house
It's the ladies of the evening and those living in the streets
Workers in the fields and junkies staying clean
People who don't have much to give, them's that gives the most
I travel now from town to town, ridin' up the coast
I'm just a rider on this train
