Lyrics

Going away you can find me
Looking out a window on a southbound train
A one-way ticket will do just fine
I don’t think I’m coming back here again

Sunshine peaking in after a summer rain
What was down has been chased away
On a southbound train

What I lost is found rolling down
These tracks just south of Point Loma
With some luck the end of the line
Will be somewhere just over the border

Sunshine peaking in after a summer rain
What was down has been chased away
On a southbound train

There’s nothing to hide from
It’s a clean break
No one to hurt, to blame or to hate
On a southbound train

Every time this train slows down
To a place I’ve never been before
I wonder if I should try my luck
I wonder if this is one I should ignore
But as I look out the window
I see the world flying by
I want all the answers
But I know I’ll be denied
I reach back and I find the map
That shows me where I may arrive
On a southbound train

My mind is as cool as this wind at my back
Lord I want to thank you for showing me where heavens at
On a southbound train
