Start and stop is how you ride
Trains rock from side to side
In the end we'll all be there
Take a train if time to spare. (When time is there)

Time goes slow and progress is made
In a rush is not the way
Through pretty scenes of back country
Through farmland and industry

Rhythm rocks your body whole
While scenes fly by
Their stories barely told
We know what our future holds
But uncertain as to all of our roles

Over rivers and through trees
Landscape changes all we see
Beauty and waste go hand in hand
As we move across this land

Start and stop is how you ride
Trains rock from side to side
In the end we'll all be there
Take a train and go somewhere

We end up in another time and place
Only time and money go to waste
Up another hill we climb
Down we roll so easily confined

Along the way sit and sway
Trying to feel good this way
Shadows come and shadows fall
Very soon night will fall

It's someone's job to drive
While many more sit inside
Someone built it
So we can ride

Start and stop is how you ride
Trains rock from side to side
In the end we'll all be there
When the train takes you there
