It's good to see you eat so well

Was she talking to me well I couldn't really tell

She smiled at me and I could see

A story taking shape behind her eyes

As the train pulled out she explained to me

Bout an unwanted girl and a pregnancy

But at 17 I couldn't be the mother that I'm trying to be now

A tragedy it came to me and offered opportunity

To take that train and face the things I know

Though it wasn't my heart to let her go

And now it's time for me to show

And I don't know why I'm telling you all of this

But I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I'm gonna take that train

It's good of you to listen so well

Though a stranger to me I feel I can tell

You that the man who she was intrusted to

Took his life that's why I'm sitting next to you

Now my girl she needs some help

The trouble she's in and she can't get out

Without a knowing hand who understands

Because I've walked the road she's on

The tragedy it came to me a thankful opportunity

To take that train and put the wrong things right

It's my chance to prove that if we choose it isn't always win or loose

And I don't know why I'm telling you all of this

But I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train I'm gonna take that train

As the train pulled in and she grabbed her things

All the memories and the painful things and she

Stood to leave and she looked at me

She looked at me

The tragedy she shared with me is now my opportunity

To take a view and make the wrong things right

I wish I had the words to say

To encourage her but she walked away

I'm so glad she told me all of this

So glad I took that train

I learned so much on train

I'll never be the same

Since I took that train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I gotta take that train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I gotta take that train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I gotta take that train

Take the train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I gotta take that train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I never be a train

I gotta take that train

Can't be afraid of that train

I gotta take that train
