I heard that whistle when I heard you speak
Felt that rumble underneath my feet
I knew I bought myself a first class seat
On the blue train

I knew you'd break me down and leave me flat
I saw it coming but I turned my back
I feel like a nickel on the railroad track
Here comes the blue train

Blue train, blue train
Broken hearts ride free
On the blue train, blue train
Coming for to carry me

It's not the first time I've been down this line
I've done some traveling with this heart of mine
Seems to be a longer ride each time
On the blue train

When I get home I'm gonna lock my heart
Try to tear away the wounded part
I'm gonna get myself a good head start
And outrun the blue train

Blue train, blue train
Broken hearts ride free
On the blue train, blue train
Coming for to carry me

Blue train, blue train
Coming for to carry me
On the blue train
