Well he got on a train at a really young age Ain't seen the sun since that fateful day Got a on a train at the age of 18 You should have seen just what he seen A long car train where there ain't no stops Taking a ride but you can't get off Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks Once you get on board that mainline train There ain't no coming back You used up your friends used up your cash Get on the train and man your gonna crash Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks Well you lied to your friends about all your pain Said that you'd never get on that train Look for a distant town and now you're never coming down from A long car train where there ain't no stops Taking a ride but you can't get off Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks Once you get on board that mainline train There ain't no coming back You used up your friends used up your cash Get on the train and man your gonna crash Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks I saw your mama just the other day She said that you had passed away The train derailed right off the track And now we know you're never coming back from A long car train where there ain't no stops Taking a ride but you can't get off Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks Once you get on board that mainline train There ain't no coming back You used up your friends used up your cash Get on the train and man your gonna crash Mainliner, mainliner screaming down the tracks
