I am a young farm boy coming from a land
Where nobody ever was and nobody ever went
In this country, boy, the people are old
Ain't no warmth of heart, all that counts is gold
My daddy threw me out 'cause the woman I loved best
Couldn't satisfy him and had fallen through his test
My mama screamed a chicken must be fed
And I can't afford the pay, even if i work myself to death
Where's the train calling for my name
Where's the train that takes away my pain
I got no education, I've never been to school
Don't you ever make the mistake to blame me as a fool
To drive that damn tractor you need a sharp mind
I could've been a doctor but I was busy drinking wine
Sweet Melinda ignored all she ever been taught
She went to her father declared me as her love
But he himself was not better in any kind
He told her she won't marry me before he's passed his time
Where's the train calling for my name
Where's the train that takes away my pain
Now all what's left, I can tell you folks
Is a man made of steel with no taste for jokes
I beat up everything to get rid of that steam
Cause in this hard country there's no place for a dream
Where's the train calling for my name
Where's the train that takes away my pain
