Sometimes The Trains Don't Roll

© 2011 by Eric Dahl

I’m not so sure
He’s wrong and everyone else is right.
You all sound so righteous and so pure
But I won’t choose sides tonight.

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.

Maybe he crossed some lines that bend
But he always stood strong by my side.
So now when his troubles just won’t end
Am I supposed to run and hide?

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.

I don’t think it’s anyone’s place
To take pride in another man’s loss
And I don’t like the cold smile crossing your face
As he falls down hard carrying his own cross.

Sometimes the wrong hand takes the nail
Sometimes the power lines fail
Sometimes when the wind blows too stale
The ships don’t sail.

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.
