This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Old train, i can hear your whistle blow
and i want to be jumping on again
old train, i've been everywhere you go
and i know what lies beyond each bend
Old train, each time you pass
you¡¯re older than the last
and it seems i¡¯m too old for running
i hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails
they cry with every mile
and i think i¡¯ll stay awhile
Old train, i grow weary at the miles
and i miss the freedom that was mine
old train, just to think about those times
i¡¯ll smile when you¡¯re highballing by
Old train, each time you pass
you¡¯re older than the last
and it seems i¡¯m too old for running
i hear your rusty wheels grate against the rails
they cry with every mile
and i think i¡¯ll stay awhile
