Clock is ticking, time's slipping away
The 5:03 is slowly pulling away
I hear that lonesome whistle blow
Clear across this sad and sleepy little town
The only single solitary sound
It comes and it goes
Just like everything I know
One of these days I'm gonna take that train
And never look back again
I'll be a million miles away from here
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
Break free from this lonesome life
One of these days
Born and raised under a family tree
The ways of life were handed down to me
No hope, no dreams
But when I hear that engine roll on in
I get a restless feeling deep within my soul
I need something I believe
One of these days I'm gonna take that train
And never look back again
I'll be a million miles away from here
One of these days I'm gonna take that ride
Break free from this lonesome life
One of these days
