Passing Train

Life is like a passing train

Cars fly by

The whistle fades heading down the line

Always right on time

And you flew by like a red caboose

I was out here running loose

I remember the night

Your "Hello" and "Goodbye"

Now I take you with me

Wherever I go

Even though

I can't hold onto you

Run, scared to run

Try to hide

Can't deny

I take you with me

Wherever I go

Even though

Oh, I can't hold onto you

California to Tennessee

All the miles in between

Weigh on my mind

And give me reasons to rhyme

And it's hard to watch you float away

Over that San Francisco Bay

Where the water is high

Good thing songs can fly

Now I take you with me

Wherever I go

Even though

I can't hold onto you

Run, scared to run

Try to hide

Can't deny

I take you with me

Wherever I go

Even though

Oh, I can't hold onto you

You can't buy back time once you give it away

I've never been older than I am today

Learning to let go

But you ought to know

Now I take you with me wherever I go

Even though

I can't hold on to you

Run, scared to run

Try to hide

Can't deny

I take you with me

Wherever I go

Even though

Oh, I can't hold onto you
