A Willie P. classic:

Come On Train
Willie P. Bennett 1977

Turn my back on no man's gun
Likewise with anyone
It's not so dangerous
It's not a smart thing to do
But if I had my choice
I'd take away his voice
Tell him I might be a clown
But I sure ain't no fool

Everyone seems to be waiting
For some deep thought or emotion
For someone with gifted devotion
To what they do
But they don't understand
That when you find that man
He'll be doin' it for himself
He ain't doin' it for you

   So, come on, train!
   Can't you see I'm waiting here?
   Come on train!
   Come on train!
   Can't you see I'm freezing here?
   Come on train!

Three is one too many
One is one too few
Two just makes me lonely
`Cause I can't get along with you
Man standing by a highway
Lonely as can be
Man standing by a boxcar
Looks a lot like me

   (chorus)

Fearless of flying
But I'm tired of climbing
And this time I've got to go
All the way
And if I don't make it
You can't say I faked it
Or that it didn't matter
What I say

   (chorus)
