Train Rolls Off the Tracks

Crack me open and spread my soul across the land
I need to know how it feels
To live a life that’s meaningful
Just because you went to school
Don’t mean your gonna’ understand

With all the shopping malls that line our streets
It seems our only concerns
Are selfish motives and getting’ high
And I ask why
We don’t look beneath

Tell me what occupies your mind as the train rolls off the tracks
You’re just hypnotized by the flashin’ lights and it don’t look like your coming back
Oh… them diamond rings and fancy cars
Won’t get you far
Let’s deny ourselves and find what lacks

Self interest is our only guiding force
I need to find some truth
From faith and enlightenment
Yeah it’s heaven sent
And it’s really gonna’ help me stay on course

Way back in the holler’s where I’ll be
Away from all the impurities
With my dog and a little shack
I ain’t coming back
To a place of misery

Tell me what occupies your mind as the train rolls off the tracks
You’re just hypnotized by the flashin’ lights and it don’t look like your coming back
Oh… them diamond rings and fancy cars
Won’t get you far
Let’s deny ourselves and find what lacks
