I don't need a reason to feel like I do I live the way I want to, I can't wait for you Oh, I feel good, I feel good, can anybody say it's wrong You see my life's like a freight train Burnin down the track And babe- The train rolls on Long after you're gone The train rolls on Last night I laid there wondering, who cares Oh, won't you tell me who cares Tell me words of wisdom, you know all the lines You pay the piper someday, but not on my time Everybody needs a friend And the touch of a lover's hand It'd be a shame to waste a good day Worryin' about it all Because - the train rolls on Long after you're gone The train rolls on I've wondered, yes I've wondered What does it matter, what does it matter? If you want me, why weren't you there? If you need me You should have showed me you care And if you love me, well babe I've waited too long All the money in the world can't change the truth All the lovers you've had, can't buy back your youth All the people and the tears and the years Have passed on by It seems my world's like a freight train Burning up the track And babe - the train rolls on Long after you're gone The train rolls on It keeps pushing on and on and on The train rolls on I've wondered, yes I've wondered What does it matter? What does it matter?
