Nowhere Train
Carlene Carter


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 this lime 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
