Jump That Train

Round the fire on a Friday night

Just about the time I was feeling right

That 9:30 Norfolk came around

We were shooting the breeze

About our boring day

When a bright idea

Came my way

I spoke my words

The guys didn't make a sound

I said I'm gonna jump that train

And when I land on the other side

The glory will be worth the pain

When that steels rolling down the tracks

I'll be heavy on the pedal never looking back

Cuz I'm gonna jump that train

They looked at me like I lost my mind

Said I wouldn't do it and I'd surely die

Ok boys if I land it then you buy

So I started drawing pictures on a pizza napkin

Knew if I tried it I could make it happen

I'd take that old blue Mercury

And touch the sky

I said I'm gonna jump that train

And when I land on the other side

The glory will be worth the pain

When you hear that whistle

Get outta my way

Cuz I'm speeding toward my judgement day

Cuz I'm gonna jump that train

I hear it rolling round the bend

Is this the beginning or a bitter end

Everyone will remember I just don't know how

Now the lights just passed the trees

It's all up to the car and me

Nerves never let me down

Don't start now

I said I'm gonna jump that train

And when I land on the other side

The glory will be worth the pain

When that steels rolling down the tracks

I'll be heavy on the pedal never looking back

Cuz I'm gonna jump that train

Ya I finally jumped that train

And when I landed on the other side

The glory wasn't worth the pain

I told you once I'm a man of my word

I'm gonna tell you again in case you haven't heard

Cuz I finally jumped that train
