I remember the days of growing upWhen we were young and wild and freeWith mama and daddy watchin' over us.I remember they told me..."Keep your back to the darkness of this world.Always know your own heart, son.Tell us what will you do with your life,Oh, when all is said and done?"And every night I'd hear the thunderOf the rollin' midnight train,And I'd hear that lonesome whistle blow,Callin' out my name.I remember the day I might my girlWhen she was all of seventeen,Dancin' like an angelTo a love song serenade.I'd take her riding in my daddy's car.We'd go deep into those fieldsAnd share the secrets of our youthThat no darkness could conceal.And every night we'd hear the thunderLetras de cancionesOf a rollin' midnight train,And I'd hold her close and swearOur love could never fade away.Oh, yeah!Now, Barry Glenn, he was my best friendThrough those reckless summer days,And we rode our bikes to the riversideAnd wished our lives away.When he was eighteen, he joined the marines,But he was too wild to be tamed.Yeah, he survived and came back alive.We never were the same. Oh no.Now I'm a man and I understandWhat it means to be alone,But I spend my nights with my own June bride.Got a love that's carved in stone.So, keep you back to the darkness of this world.Always know your own heart, son.Remember who you are, and who you were,And where it is that you come from.Yeah, and I still hear the thunderOf a distant midnight train.It's rumblin' down those phantom railsOf my memory.Yeah, I still hear the thunderOf a rollin' midnight train,And I hear that lonesome whistle blow,Callin' out my name.To roll me home.Roll me on down that line.Roll me home.Roll me on... down that line.
