Well he got on a train at a really young age
Ain't seen the sun since that fateful day
Got a on a train at the age of 18
You should have seen just what he seen
A long car train where there ain't no stops
Taking a ride but you can't get off
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
Once you get on board that mainline train
There ain't no coming back
You used up your friends used up your cash
Get on the train and man your gonna crash
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
Well you lied to your friends about all your pain
Said that you'd never get on that train
Look for a distant town and now
You're never coming down from
A long car train where there ain't no stops
Taking a ride but you can't get off
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
Once you get on board that mainline train
There ain't no coming back
You used up your friends used up your cash
Get on the train and man your gonna crash
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
I saw your mama just the other day
She said that you had passed away
The train derailed right off the track
And now we know you're never coming back from
A long car train where there ain't no stops
Taking a ride but you can't get off
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
Once you get on board that mainline train
There ain't no coming back
You used up your friends used up your cash
Get on the train and man your gonna crash
Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
