Train

Men walkin' 'long
the railroad tracks,
goin' someplace
and there's no goin' back.
—Bruce Springsteen

I hear the train a comin' ,
it's rollin’ round the bend.
—Johnny Cash

Well, I
wait around the train station,
waitin' for that train,
waitin' for the train, yeah
to take me
from this lonesome place.
—Jimi Hendrix

Stop that train,
I want to get on.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
―Oscar Wilde

My heart is warm
with the friends I make,
and better friends
I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train
I wouldn't take,
no matter where
it's going.
―Edna St. Vincent Millay
~
We're all riders on this train.
—Bruce Springsteen
