New Memphis - Anywhere but Home Lyrics

I hear the train a-comin'
She's moving down the hill
I hear her whistle blowing from afar
I don't know where's she going
Or how fast she will go
But I know she's going to stop here at my door

And then the train will take me
Away from all I know
And I'm not so sure I will not lose my mind
'Cause the journey might break me
If I must leave you behind

So please, mama
Don't make me go alone
'Cause I know that train will take me
Anywhere but home

I know that you will join me
For miles and miles to come
But in some haunted town you'll have to go
That train will keep on moving
With me inside her shell
And I fear that train will never move too slow

And where the train will take me
Is anybody's guess
But I know I'll always think about that day
Where your journey has ended
And mine went on, someway

So please, mama
Don't make me go alone
'Cause I know that train will take me
Anywhere but home
'Cause I know that train will take me
Anywhere but home
