lyrics

I took a ride the other day on a late night train, not knowing where it goes.
It was kinda funny, for a while, till I realized, that I don't know where I am.
There was a woman, by the window, with her hair pulled back, singing songs that I recognize.
It was kinda funny, for a while, till I realized, she was singing out loud all to herself.

And I don't know what they say in the books but I think I'm on the right track.
Yeah my shoes are worn and my legs are tired but I've gotta be on the right track.
I'm taking the bad stuff back, I've gotta be on the right track.

I wrote a song, the other day, about nothing at all.
I don't know why, guess it keeps me going strong.
It was kinda funny, for a while, till I realized, I'd been writing that song, all damn day.

And I don't know what they say in the books but I think I'm on the right track.
Yeah my shoes are worn and my legs are tired but I've gotta be on the right track.
I'm taking the bad stuff back, I've gotta be on the right track.
(harmonica)

Yeah, I've gotta be on the right track.
Singing, yeah, I've gotta be on the right track.
I'm taking the bad stuff back, I've gotta be on the right track.

Well I wish I had a tambourine cause I'd play it too.
And if you took my tambourine away I'd be like hey how could you.
And it would be kinda funny, as I watched it go away, but then I'd smile and find something else to play.

Yeah, I've gotta be on the right track.
Singing, yeah, I've gotta be on the right track.
I'm taking the bad stuff back, I've gotta be on the right track.
