Nonstop to Nowhere (CHR Edit)

I'm on the lame train

I got a first class ticket

On the nonstop to nowhere

Where it takes me I don't know

I guess the tracks you lay are your own

Well, it's five o'clock in the morning

And I can't fall asleep again

Times are changing and moving fast

Way too fast for me

Seems like only yesterday

I was skipping school and stealing gasoline

I've been talking

I guess you call it talking a white lie

One minute I'm on top of the world

And the next thing you know

I'm on the lame train

I got a first class ticket

On the nonstop to nowhere

Where it takes me I don't know

I guess the tracks you lay are your own

Sometimes I just and daydream

And I just slip away from here

If only I had a crystal ball

Or could invent a time machine

I'd go into the future, take a good look around

And see what life has in store for me

I've been walking

I guess you call it walking a thin line

One minute I'm on top of the world

And the next thing you know

I'm on the lame train

I got a first class ticket

On the nonstop to nowhere

Where it takes me I don't know

I guess the tracks you lay are your own

It's like a chain gang

I know the exit but my problems

Seem to follow me wherever I go

Nonstop to nowhere

I don't believe the preachers

They're just sticking out their hands

I don't believe the government

And who is this Uncle Sam

Mr. Conductor will you help me off this train

Well, I believe I'm on the wrong one

And it's taking me down the drain
