I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl
When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand
It took me a long time to get back on the train
Ideas that would take me all around the world
Ideas that would take me all around the world
I left it all behind, again I'll travel far
See me running there beside the car
It took me a long time to get back on the train
When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts
It took me a long time to get back on the train
I turn my face into the howlin' wind
You know I'll never look back again
Now I'm gone and I'll never look back again
I'm gone and I'll never look back at all
It took me a long time to get back on the train
See me standing in the station in the rain
See my face in the town that's flashing by
I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl
It took me a long time to get back on the train
