HOOK
Come ride with me on the Iron Horse
See what I see step inside my thoughts
Like most things nothing's as it seems
Find your worst nightmare or your wildest dreams.
Ride with me on the Iron Horse
See what I see step inside my thoughts
Like most things nothing's as it seems
Find your worst nightmare or your wildest dreams.

VERSE 1
Here's a glimpse into the everyday life of a commuter
On the move when I'm not trapped behind a computer
My life's on repeat like the beat when I'm writin'
Train doors open and it seem so invitin'
Yet, seem sort of frightenin'
Whole car packed out
No breathin' room, feeling like I'm gon' black out
Next cars empty...
That's where I'm headed
But then the smell hit me...
Damn I regret it.
So I stay put, nah'mean?
But now I look like a sardine
Folks in my personal space
The rush hour commute can sure test your nerves
Pump the volume in the headphones and just observe
I see different people from all walks of life
Straight runnin' to their dead end job
Some follow Muhammad, while some follow Christ
And a few don't believe in God
A little young love and couple old-timers
A couple folks that don't really fuck with Obama
A few that do, one or two baby mamas
We all tryin' to navigate through are daily drama

BRIDGE
Ride on,
Just ride on,
If you're headed to the place to be
That's alright
Now hold tight
If you're trapped in this rat race with me!

VERSE 2
Some hustle for change, and a few are promoting it
Might get a free show from a poet or vocalist
Or hear from a person...
Trying to fight homelessness
You fakin' like you're sleep and try not to notice it
Problems don't go away when your eyes shut
People headin' downtown wishing they could rise up
And some search for joy, some are living with anger
Might exchange a smile with a beautiful stranger
And sometimes that's the highlight of your trip
'Cause before you got here you said "I'm tired of this shit!"
Runnin' late again and you could get fired for this
But you lie and say that another rider was sick..
Huh!
Ha, that was slick
Now you're back to people watching
Now you're feeling nauseous
Nasty people coughin'
And sneezing
Then they try to sit beside you
You praying like hell, you don't get the swine flu
That's the last thing that you need in ya' life
When you ride the train you're a slave to media hype
Outbreaks, Threats, real life of course
Made it to my destination but I feel like I'm lost, damn!
