No Destination Train

Verse 1

Steel rails stretching farther than my memory

Aboard the train with a heart full of questions

The landscape rushes past like fragments of yesterday

I light a cigarette, smoke twisting in the cold morning air

I speak softly to warm leather seats

About all the things I left unsaid

Verse 2

Every station holds a story

Every passing town, a glimpse of what could have been

I feel the weight of faces

I will never see again

Verse 3

A guitar leans against the window frame

Its strings hum with the rhythm of the tracks

I whisper my regrets to the turning wheels

Watching sunrise over distant mountains

Shadows stretch across abandoned farms

I think of you in a house I’ll never visit

Smiling at a memory I can’t reach

Verse 4

Rattling cars in wind-swept fields

Carry the scent of rain and dust

I trace the lines of this journey

Like a story written for no one

Bridge

I write your name in the window’s condensation

Wipe it away, but it stays in my mind

Like a melody that plays

When no one listens

Outro

Another sip from my flask, warm whiskey burning light

I let the train carry my thoughts from everything familiar

The horizon stretches, tracks fade into mist

Some journeys have no destination

They teach you who you are along the way

I lean back, close my eyes

And let the motion carry me forward
