Staring down the double line
We're flowing off behind
I never see your face no more
I left you standing on the shore

We made mistakes and now we're paying
But it's much too late
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train

Yeah, there ain't no engineer
To pull the throttle back
It's full steam up ahead
Or down the windy track

We had our chance, it slipped away
Don't call my name
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train

I'm not saying, I'm not saying that
You were wrong to play to win
Watch what you're doing now
Watch what you're doing now
The things that you throw away
Won't come again, no, no
Oh, they won't come again, oh yeah

We sat down at the station
You were trying to decide
Was I your destination
Or just one stop on the ride

We had our chance, it slipped away
Don't call my name
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train
There ain't no brakeman on this train
No brakeman on this train
