Dusty Train to Nowhere

• On a dusty train to nowhere, rollin’ down this lonesome track,  
  Haunted by the shadows of the love I can’t get back.  
  Torn memories like paper, scatter in the midnight breeze,  
  Every whispered promise, now just echoes in the trees.  
  
  With a fading fire in my heart, and a restless night to face,  
  hollow whispers haunt my soul, in this desolate place.  
  Shattered time surrounds me, like a ghost from days gone by,  
  I keep on searchin’ for a reason, but it’s hard to even try.  
  
  There’s a woman waitin’ in the distance, her eyes a million stars,  
  But every thought of her just leads to broken, rusty bars.  
  And I ride this endless journey, nothin' but an empty seat,  
  Dreams of love are distant, as I listen to my heart's defeat.  
  
  The rhythm of the wheels movin’, like a blues tune in my mind,  
  Each note a memory lost, leavin’ all the warmth behind.  
  As the night pulls on around me, can’t escape this pain I know,  
  But deep down in my heart, I feel the need to let her go.  
  
  So here’s to all the lovers whose paths may never cross,  
  We’re just shadows on this journey, always countin’ all we’ve lost.  
  I’ll hold onto those torn pieces, like a ticket to the past,  
  But I’ll ride this dusty train, lest the ghost of love’s too vast.  
  
  With every thud and rumble, I know the time is nigh,  
  To rise above the hollow whispers, let the memories pass by.  
  So I’ll take this endless journey, never lookin’ back again,  
  And as I fade into the distance, I’ll find peace in my own skin.  
  
  On a dusty train to nowhere, I’m finally lookin’ free,  
  Turning the page to tomorrow, this blues ain’t bindin’ me.
