Janis Ian — This Train Still Runs Live

[Verse 1] I felt a rumble in my heart, over the mountains As the engine ate the spark, spitting out the miles Times when I tried to jump the track Weight of the world upon my back Still after all is said and done [Chorus] This train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone This train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on No one is forever young I'm not done—this train still runs [Verse 2] I had a friend I left behind, back at the station We used to burn the power lines, racing with the wind But time has the manners of a thief Young love turns bittersweet Still we keep that lantern hung [Chorus] That train still runs It doesn't matter where it's gone That train still runs And though the baggage weighs a ton We carry on Ain't no one is forever young I'm not done—this train still runs [Bridge] I got a ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to ride I got a motor rolling over to an easy glide I'm gonna travel on the gravel to the other side Sure as a baby loves the teat Sure as a high heel on concrete Sure as the songs I've left unsung [Chorus] This train will run It doesn't matter where it's gone This train will run We will carry on No one is forever young We're not done—this train still runs This train still runs This train still runs
