Restless I spend my life out on the road I'm driven to take a trip into the setting sun In every town I left behind I'll always be the desperate stranger Once I turned my back to everything Lonesome, freedom, oblivion There's never been a coming back
These days I hear the whistle blow again Bye bye! I'll be gone before the dawn I'll grab my guitar and my hat Prepared to leave all this behind Kiss me goodbye I'm gonna hit the railroad track
Hate me, miss me, forget me You do better without me Forgive me and my travelling bone A man like me will always be alone Someday you will find another one
Late at night Eyes opened wide The whistle blows my name I cannot stay when seasons change and distance is calling Back on the track again
You know that I was never meant to stay Forever I'm bound to ride the hellbound train And on the day that I will die nobody's gonna pray for me I'll rest until the whistle blows again
I'm on my way Decision's done I'm on the run Soon I'll be gone I'm coming home Train rolls on
