All Aboard

I can feel the wheels are turning underneath my feet

As I pull the shade down on my window seat

Praying where I'm going is better than where I've been

Then a stranger sits down as if he's right at home

Touches me and says, "I see you're traveling alone

And by the way, son, you forgot to say amen"

He says, "I guess there's something here I need to explain

I try to talk to everyone riding this train

Some of them listen, but most don't pay me no mind"

And the train keeps rolling

And the world keeps turning

All aboard, all aboard

Everybody's gotta get on board

Take that woman with the frown sitting 'cross the aisle

With her briefcase open, nigh on 90 miles

She never even noticed that lake back at Horseshoe Bend

And that couple with the kids at the front of the car

Fussing all the way 'bout some cookie jar

I'm gonna ask them what they saw at their journey's end

And there's a fellow I left sitting in the back

Keeps a smile on his face through a paper sack

Looking out the window, but he can't see past the pain

And the train keeps rolling (the train keeps rolling)

And the world keeps turning (the world keeps turning)

All aboard, all aboard

Everybody's gotta get on board

Then the train slows down unexpectedly

As I raise my blind, he slaps my knee

Saying, "This is my stop, son, but you won't be traveling alone"

I look out my window to wave him goodbye

But there's nobody there, just a light in the sky

I lose my breath and my blood runs cold as stone

Then I feel the wheels turning underneath my feet

But life looks different from my window seat

Knowing where I'm going is better than where I've been

And the train keeps rolling (the train keeps rolling)

And the world keeps turning (the world keeps turning)

All aboard, all aboard

Everybody's gotta get on board

I can feel the wheels a-turnin' underneath my feet
