All Night Train

I remember the Pittsburg snow
White as a hospital coat
Taxi tires leave wrinkles in the street
all the way down to the station
and I believe in superman
and I'm just eight years old
and grownups never make mistakes
and the big trains always go

Somewhere there's an all night train
that we went riding on
In the safety of our childhood
the innocence of our soul
The trouble with the all night train
that we went riding on
You can ride to Indiana
but you can't ride for long

I remember the sound of the wheels
the scratch of the carpeted seat
the whistle blows in the early morning
the shadows leap at the window
and I'm not afraid of the dark
and I'm just eight years old
and nothing breaks that can't be fixed
and grownups always know

Somewhere there's an all night train
that we went riding on
In the safety of our childhood
the innocence of our soul
The trouble with the all night train
that we went riding on
You can ride to Indiana
but you can't ride for long

Now I'm a grownup adult
with all that I lost track of
sitting in the sun
on the back porch dreaming
I was so naive
The sign said tomorrow
but sometimes even now
I wish I was on the all night train
I'd catch it, but I don't know how

Somewhere there's an all night train
that we went riding on
In the safety of our childhood
the innocence of our soul
The trouble with the all night train
that we went riding on
You can ride to Indiana
but you can't ride for long
