Train of Thoughts
i`m on the train,no going back
a lonely sight, this railroad track
no idea how far i will get
way off in that big sunset
away i`ll go to start a new life
leaving behind my kids and wife
i`m truly sorry leaving them in debt
coz i like women, whiskey and a bet
also sorry to all others i`ve blamed
i now realize and i am so ashamed
for being out drinking, never at home
while my wife brings up the kids on her own
suppose my leaving will be a relief
all i have given her is lots of grief
my running away will break her free
one day maybe she will forgive me
in my heart i don`t want to go
coz i really do love her so
i must go though, and mend my ways
hopefully come back one of these days
prove myself a much better man
i can do it, i just know i can
its up to me ,decide my fate
i just hope, that she will wait
so off i`ll go, no idea where i`ll be living
just hoping the wife and kids are forgiving
why did i have to go and deliberately shame her
if she hates my guts,how can i blame her
so with some help from the lord above
i hope i can prove and show my love
to the only three people that matter to me
my two kids,and my sweet loving lady
so i`m heading off to start a new life
hopefully one day with my kids and wife
what they will do she will need to ponder
i hope absence does make the heart grow fonder
but if she remarries to another man
i guess i would really understand
only one person could be blamed i see
and that fool, would of course be me
