i ain´t no cowboy
i just look like one
and i ain´t no prisoner
but i´m on the run from these chains
and i´m just between trains

i ain´t no loner
i just work alone
there ain´t no place
where there´s a home i could claim
and i´m still between trains
still between trains

chorus
i´ve got to let it roll
i´ve got to let it ride
i can never show
what´s really going on inside
if i´m too young to learn
or too old to change
i guess i´ll always be
between trains

i ain´t no soldier
but i´ve been to war
i done some killin´
all i kill anymore are these pains
and i´m just between trains

just passin´ through
never stayed this long in one place
so when i´m gone just lay my remains
somewhere between trains
somewhere between trains

chorus
