Bm A
I left the station many years ago,
Bm
excited for what lay ahead
A
She stayed behind, so many miles although-
Bm
I close my eyes and there she is
A
These wheels roll on from track to track
Bm
I ride across the land
A
Every mile brings me closer
Bm (Pause)
The final stop is glory
[Chorus]
E Em Bm A
On this train... to eternity
E Em Bm A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)
[Instrumental]
Bm A (x2)
Bm A
People get on and they get off
Bm
Sometimes we become friends
Bm A
But they cannot stay, for in the end-
Bm
Our destinations aren't the same
Bm A
Others try to ride along
Bm
But find they cannot pay the fare
Bm A
Sometimes we pull into a station
Bm (Pause)
But if you get off, you're nowhere
[Chorus]
E Em Bm A
On this train... to eternity
E Em Bm A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)
[Instrumental]
Bm A (x2)
D A
Long ago I got my ticket
Bm G
Never to be a slave
D A F#m
And I go the direction that I want
From greatness to the grave
(Chorus) Slow No Drums
E Em Bm A
On this train... to eternity
E Em Bm A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)
[Chorus]
E Em Bm A
On this train... to eternity
E Em Bm A
I'll ride this train... to eternity (and all the way down)
