[V-1]
We boarded our train for vacation
I was excited, had high expectations
Got dressed up special just for you
Didn’t notice me, but he saw the Drink menu
[pre-chorus]
Are we on track chuggin’ along
or is this where I get off, ...ohhhh!...
[chorus]
Just a passenger on this ride
Like an outsider in his life
Is this going somewhere
Or is it a train to nowhere
A train to nowhere…
[Verse 2]
On his phone make'n business plans
I’m staring through a pane of glass
Watch the landscape go passing by
Like his employee, trading my time....
[pre-chorus]
Are we going off the rails
He’s only lookin’ at his emails ...oooo.
[chorus]
Just a passenger on this ride
Like an outsider in his life
Is this going somewhere
Or is it a train to nowhere
A train to nowhere…
[Bridge]
Tired of the one way conversation
Counting miles to the next station
Pack my heart in the suitcase
I’ll take it out when I get someplace
[chorus-final]
I've reached the end of the line
I Won’t be a passenger in his life
Got a new ticket to somewhere
My ticket to somewhere….
[outro]
Found a train on another track
No, I won’t be comin’ back
Don’t think you'll even care
Got a ticket to somewhere…
ohhh...
My ticket to somewhere...

Hey there Muskie... This is very nice. I wasn't aware that everyone was doing "train songs".
I have one of my own. I'll have to post it soon.
Anyways, this is really beautiful!

I love hearing the before and after versions. Thanks for posting that. :)
Bit surprised you didn't call it "Train to nowhere" given that it comes up twice in the chorus. Definitely the hook. I realise it ends up "going somewhere".
It's a strong track. Love the whole metaphor of being a passenger on someone else's train. Just so easy to understand and evocative at the same time. Nicely done.
And it came out very well out of Suno.
Good job.

Thanks for your nice comments. “Going somewhere” was my working title. When I was done I thought about changing it to “train to nowhere” . But decided to keep it, as it was more positive as she empowers her self to go somewhere, and it gives a little surprise to hear come together at the end.
Thanks @Tex 👍0
