Lyrics
I grew up here on bourbon street Playin' for the beer and tips Livin' by the poncha train Watchin' drunks and sailin' ships Now I'm sittin' on a midnight train Gonna bury momma on my birthday And never's gonna be too soon To see these streets Of vieux carré
Thirty years ago Momma was a pretty bride She took this train to new orleans Made a mask for mardi gras And never took it off it seems Daddy drank away their honeymoon He never wore his wedding band They fought just like a hurricane But she fell in love with dixieland
Chorus: Now I'm on a train to nowhere To find the future in my past I'm on a train to nowhere Feelin' like a no one How long will this last? Goin' nowhere fast
Nine months later to the day She labored deep into the night I was the baby in her arms And she was weakened by the fight I grew up fast I grew up hard The alleyways were my backyard Momma sang at pat o'riley's And I sat in with the band on fridays
Chorus
Tonight we'll cross the Mason-dixon line Finally takin' momma home She will find a restin' place Beneath the garden made of stone And I came here to find tomorrow Now I hear my station name If I can just forget my past Maybe I can start again
Chorus: Now I'm on a train to nowhere To find the future in my past I'm on a train to nowhere But this trip will be my last Yeah if I can just get goin' And get myself on track Off this train to nowhere It's goin' nowhere fast
