Train of Thought

I sit in the back of a traveling train The exit to the left guides me to the thoughts in my brain So hop on board to take a ride On the train of thought with me to see what's inside You might not be prepared for what you see One image starts a thousand mile journey Of all the years that pass me by A thousand miles to go until I die This train offers not a sunset view Nor a peek of the world layed out before you The only thing offered like I said Are thoughts like à hurricane swirling around in my head For me it's out of sight out of mind But on this train I'm surprised by what I find That being said this train isn't to guide It's to show you memories I store inside A penny for your thoughts because your thoughts I want to know As I continue my life, this train will continue to go I really want to see all that this life has in store for me Because there's plenty to miss on a thousand mile journey Someday the pennies for thoughts shall be no more to spend And this train ride of mine will come to an end Enjoyed the ride now I'm ready to go Laying my head on the ground as I rest my soul.
