There's a long twin silver line, stretchin' out to dreamland
And more than a million miles of hard travellin' to get there
Now every living soul, got a heavy load to carry
Searchin' for hope and love and some understanding

If you're trying to find something good you've lost
Or trying to lose something bad you've found
Just take a chance and stand your ground, and get on and ride this train

We are the passengers, headin' out to dreamland
Wishin' for better days, there is no ticket needed
For these hard times to change, we all feel the yearning
So let that whistle blow and get the steel wheels turning

If you're trying to find something good you've lost
Or trying to lose something bad you've found
Just take your chance and stand your ground, get on and ride this train

All the winners and the losers, get on and ride this train
All the smiling and the cryin' ones, get on and ride this train
All the restless and the lonely and the ones who still believe
Just get on and ride this train

If you're trying to find something good you've lost
Or trying to lose something bad you've found
Take a chance and stand your ground, come on and ride this train

If you're trying to find something good you've lost
Or trying to lose something bad you've found
Just take a chance and stand your ground, and get on and ride this train
