(VERSE 1)

He woke up on a cold floor

In a motel on the south side of nowhere and he swore

That this is the last time

Like the last time before

Just like the last time before

(CHORUS)

But the wheels keep turning 'round

The engines they never slow down

And he knew that these tracks would lead to heartache and pain

But he still got on that train

(VERSE 2)

Theres a girl down in Georgia

Broken home-coming queen, knocked around black and blue

Said this is the last time

This time I know that we're through

Oh this time I swear that we're through

(CHORUS 2)

But the wheels keep turning 'round

The engines they never slow down

And she knew that these tracks would lead to heartache and pain

But she still got on that train

(VERSE 3)

I wake up in a cold bed

Playing shows every night on this long lonely road

I'm thinking of you

And I just wanna come home

Oh but I'm just too far from home

(CHORUS 3)

But the wheels keep turning 'round

The engines they never slow down

And I knew that these tracks would lead to heartache and pain

But I still got on that train

And I knew that these tracks would lead to heartache and pain

But I still got on that train

Got on that train....
