Lyrics (credits to Stuart B Littley on Youtube!):
Every man has his own calling to answer
His version of pleasure and his own kind of pain
Somewhere between lies freedom we're all after
But I'd rather be on a train

Hey, I'd rather be on a train
Somewhere in California headed for the coast of Maine
I've made a life of [living in my chains]
But I'd rather be on a train

I never worried much about the color of my collar
The shirt on your back is all you get for being sane
I've been under the throne of that almighty dollar
And I'd rather be on a train

Hey, I'd rather be on a train
Somewhere in Carolina headed for the western plains
I've made a life of [living in my chains]
But I'd rather be on a train

Lord, I've tried to do the best I can
As long as I'm able
'Till that day when we all fly up to that higher plane
Meanwhile here between the coffin and the cradle
l'd rather be on a train

Hey, I'd rather be on a train
Even from Montana
And the Smoky Mountain Range
I've made a life of [living in my chains]
But l'd rather be on a train

Hey, I'd rather be on a train
Somewhere in California headed for the coast of Maine
I've made a life of [living in my chains]
But l'd rather be on a train
Hey, I'd rather be on a train
