Laying in my bed and I’m waiting for a train
That flies down the valley, every night
Staring at my ceiling and dreaming of riding that train
For a million miles
Chorus:
Someday I’m going to lose this place, I’ve never been to China
Too far it won’t be too far away, I’ve never been to China
Someday I’m going to lose this place, this place
Someday I’m going to lose this place
And I’m watching from my corner those cars go driving so fast
So big, so shiny.
With their smiling faces behind the wheel, dancing in their mirrors as
They look behind me
Chorus
I leave those voices behind closed doors, no more cries in the long
Lonely nights to be ignored
And I’l say goodbye to whisky who stayed too long, oh what two
People can do when their demons roar, when their demons roar
It was a violent night nearly every night, somebody paid the price
It was usually me
Now I get up in the morning put a smile on my face
I’m all right, the dishes are clean
chorus
