Big City Train Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you hear that whistle
Loud clackety clack
But it's calling to me
The station is where it's at
It's coming again now
Chuggin' down that track
Just check your records
Got all my bags packed

[Chorus]
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come, get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true

[Verse 2]
The time I'll board that train
It won't be long
Check the label on my baggage
Destination's in my song
I'll talk to the conductor, ooh
I've saved up my fare
Yakety-yak for a while
Choo choo!
Choo choo-hoo!
[Chorus]
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come, get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come, get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true

[Verse 3]
Smokes down
Train is back
Then smash it down
Hurry grab my luggage
Hurry grab my bags
It seems the locomotive
Has taken another track
A penny brought by mischief
A penny form of cash
Has been brought up to the railway
We are destined to be a smash
A smash
Woah!

[Chorus]
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come, get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true
[Bridge]
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Room for many
Tickets for few
I'm waiting for it to show
A na na na na na na oh woah

[Chorus]
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me to the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me waiting for that train to come through
Come, get me, take me, to the land where my dreams come true

[Outro]
"You're gonna always find me
Oh, gonna always find me"
Woo oo hoo, woo oo hoo
I said, "Woo woo, oh oh oh"
I won't move on yeah
Na na na na na na no na na no
I gotta hold on tight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
