I never thought you wanted this life
Waking up in a train to nowhere with me
Chasing clouds and hoping they'd fall down around us
But it was no dream you really wanted to ride with me

(chorus)
Railroad tracks, they got us here
Railroad tracks, they'll drive us forth
Railroad tracks, they'll take us home
Home where we'll be together

I never thought one cabin is just enough
Enough to carry us through this life
A life you want to spend together
But you looked at me and said...
I really want to ride with you

(chorus)
Railroad tracks, they got us here
Railroad tracks, they'll drive us forth
Railroad tracks, they'll take us home
Home where we'll be together

(chorus)
Railroad tracks, they got us here
Railroad tracks, they'll drive us forth
Railroad tracks, they'll take us home
Home where we'll be together

(outro)
Now that the journey's over...
Journey in the midnight express...
The railroad loops and we're still not home...
Will you take that journey again, again with me...

(chorus)
Railroad tracks, they got us here
Railroad tracks, they'll drive us forth
Railroad tracks, they'll take us home
Home where we'll be together
