Felt that rumble underneath my feet

I knew I bought myself a first class seat

On the blue train

I knew you'd break me down and leave me flat

I saw it coming but I turned my back

I feel like a nickel on the railroad track

Here comes the blue train

Blue train, blue train

Broken hearts ride free

On the blue train, blue train

Coming for to carry me

It's not the first time I've been down this line

I've done some traveling with this heart of mine

Seems to be a longer ride each time

On the blue train

When I get home I'm gonna lock my heart

Try to tear away the wounded part

I'm gonna get myself a good head start

And outrun the blue train

Blue train, blue train

Broken hearts ride free

On the blue train, blue train

Coming for to carry me

Blue train, blue train

Coming for to carry me

On the blue train

Felt that rumble underneath my feet

I knew I bought myself a first class seat
