Everyday nothing seems to change
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I
I can't take it no more
Oh, I would leave this town but I ain't got no where else to go
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news
And I... Sometimes I feel like I was born to lose & I
It's driving me out of my mind
I'll catch the next train & I... I'll move on down the line

Woah, I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in
Woah, I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in
I know my time ain't long around here
& I can't live this life again

Walking down the streets you might run across a smiling face
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn
And walk away and I... Oh Lord it's bringing me down

If things don't change around here
Ain't no use in me hanging 'round

Woah, I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in
Woah, I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in
I know my time ain't long around here
& I can't live this life again
