Carlene Carter – Nowhere Train lyrics

(Carlene Carter/Anni O'Brien)

Two blue hearts steppin' off a nowhere train
Standin' on a one-way street dreamin' bout a long sea cruise
Gonna have a brand new start
Gonna have a grand new part to play
We're gettin' off a nowhere train

We won't turn back, we got some place to be
A better life ahead for the likes of you and me
Leave our sorrows behind
That was a bad old time we had
We're gettin' off a nowhere train

We were young and we were runnin'
Like our life depended on it
But that ain't no way to live, now is it dear
There were stars a fallin' far and wide
To guide us on our nowhere ride
You don't know where you're goin'
'Til it's the end of the line

Two blue hearts standin' on a dead-end track
Lookin' like the cat drug in dreamin' bout a moonlit kiss
Gonna have a life real sweet
Keep it all nice and neat somehow
We're gettin' off a nowhere train

With this change of reservation
We'll arrive our destination
No memories to haunt us in this world
With these limiles of life behind us
There's no sadness here to bind us
No reason to look back
Now we're just lookin' up ahead

Two blue hearts steppin' off a nowhere train
Standin' on a one way street dreamin' bout a long sea-cruise
Gonna have a life real sweet
Keep it all nice and neat somehow
We're gettin' off a nowhere train
Oh darlin', you and me
We're gettin' off a nowhere train
