TITLE: She Rides The Train
Music & Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
-------------------------------------------------------------

I met a woman
she was runnin' from something again
she was a good one
but i don't recall her name

as i sat between her and the window
i looked at her straight in the eye
and something about her was different
and i knew what it was that i liked

she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

we started talking
both of us telling our lies
she was a woman
lookin' for some other guy

but i could tell by the way she was talkin'
i could see by the look in her eye
that she ain't gonna find nobody tonight
and she knew it as well as I

so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

i could tell she was special
the standard rules didn't apply
no something was different
taken away from her life

her happiness seemed like a memory
and she can't catch a train to get back
there was something attached to her heart
and it keeps pulling her down the track

so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

yeah she rides the train
and she rides it late at night
she rides the train
cause it makes her feel alright

she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

buy me a ticket
you can throw all my things in the street
cause i need to find her
won't you please get me back to that seat?

i guess i know just how she feels
searching far and wide
for something she desperately needed
but never would find in her life

so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

yeah she rides the train
and she rides it late at night
she rides the train
and it makes her feel alright

she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
