Standing on the railroad tracks Staring at my reflection In the window of the dusty cabin door Got a ticket in my hand A heart of expectation Searching for the will to climb on board Why think twice? Life's too short, you've gotta take the ride There's more to gain Than what you stand to lose Hold on tight You've got a life to live You've got a song to write Never or now, it's time to chose 'Cause this train's leaving With or without you Just go and don't look back You've packed all your best intentions You've dried your tears And tendered your goodbyes The gypsy in your soul Knows the right direction Forget the doubts still troubling your mind Why think twice? Life's too short, you've gotta take the ride There's more to gain Than what you stand to lose Hold on tight You've got a life to live You've got a song to write Never or now, it's time to chose 'Cause this train's leaving With or without you No "what if this" or "what if that" No could've beens or could've hads No "what if this" or "what if that" Farwell, so long, go get gone Get gone! Why think twice? Life's too short, you've gotta take the ride There's more to gain Than what you stand to lose Hold on tight You've got a life to live You've got a song to write Never or now, it's time to chose 'Cause this train's leaving With or without you This train's leaving With or without you Yeah, this train's leaving With or without you
