“Love is the train and I’m her engineer. Toot. Toot!”

Love Train
WRITTEN BY: CHRIS COLBY
A year ago we hitched up and pointed ourselves west
Love was all we had
And even though we’re running man, we never had to hide
Never asked you for a ticket
Never charged you for the ride
Standing on that platform
Looking down that track
Love train has left here
And I know it ain’t never coming back
Smooth tracks to Denver when doubt was setting in
I heard your voice loud and clear
“Stick ‘em up, it’s a hold-up, put everything in this sack!”
I gave you love and honesty. You never gave it back.
Standing on that platform
Looking down that track
Love train has left here
And I know it ain’t never coming back
Six-thousand tons of steel have passed you by
Please don’t wonder why
The Promised Land is a day away
But money won’t get you there
Love is this train’s fare
I made it to my destination
This train has crossed the nation
Love is the train and I’m her engineer
Standing on that platform
Looking down that track
Love train has left here
And I know it ain’t never coming back
