Train of Change (Original Song)

Riding southbound on a train,
Don't know where its gonna take me,
I just need to get away,
Life's just to damn lazy

Got to keep a steady job,
Got to punch the old time clock,
Get up - do it again,
Just to wait for the weekend

Since I have to destination,
Is there reason to return,
I could sell off my possessions,
Yeah I know it sounds absurd,

But things aren't changing,
What's the point in moving on,
So I'll pick up my old six string,
Try and write another song,

chorus: And I don't know how to change,
I've lost my way,
Lord help me change

Riding northbound on a train,
Almost at my destination,
Will things be the same,
Can I make a restoration,

chorus: And I don't know how to change,
I've lost my way
Lord help me change

This is BEAUTIFUL. I can relate to your feelings. I have felt this way before. Sometimes, you can do the unthinkable and make a major change, even though it's scary - it can work. Life is too short to do something you don't like, for so long. Sometimes you just have to wait it out a while. I hope you can do something with your music - it is so beautiful and so full of you.

thank you for your comments. Well things did change in a Big way. I moved to Vietnam to be with my wife. We are deciding now if we want to return to the US or stay here till things get better there. We have a nice little cafe here and I think life might be better for us here right now. But I know that God will lead the way. Thanks for watching.

You have soul, don't give up. The not knowing is every mans curse in life. There just so few of us free spirits left out there that see life the way it should be. I walked this track for years only to find it's not the possessions that make life it's the living of your dreams. Live them !!!! Enjoy them !!!Keep on writing if it's your passion. Your very good and you will suceed.

Wow that is great! I'm sure it's not always easy. I'm a single mom, and right after having my son (he was less than 5 mos. old) I went against the norm and moved to Thailand with him. It was a leap of faith but I wasn't that scared for some reason - and I was struggling financially. Anyway, it was the best decision of my life and the beginning of a new career for me and everything has been an adventure since. Just trust God and He will guide you. Take care! We are in the US now and my son is 5!
