I know better than to turn or ever look back
In a foreign land, I try to relax and watch the sights
But if we fly off the rails, God will turn off our lights

I fish around in my purse and find my brown sack.
There are a couple of crackers, the cheese is all gone.
What if some psychopath has these timbers half sawn?

The person across the aisle gives her child a whack.
This reminds me of home, as a matter of fact.
I am ready to return; not truthfully a traveling act.

We are slowing down. Are we there, Jack? 
I have to settle back down we aren’t even close.
But the train feels weird, as if I’m being watched by a ghost.

Your first line repeated actually sounds like riding on Amtrak. Hmm...the idea that a "psychopath has these timbers half sawn" is chilling. Nah...nope. I will let the sounds lull me to sleep and not worry about such as that!

Hahahaha I wish I'd have thought about the psychopath and the half-sawn timbers now.
