Music: Peter Tosh

Chorus
Stop that train I'm leaving
Stop that train I'm leaving
Stop that train I'm leaving
And it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
All my life I've been a lonely man
Tryin' to teach the people that won't understand
When I try to do my very best
I can't seem to find no happiness
So I say
[chorus]
Some travel east, y'know some travel west
Some try to do their very best
Some live in big, but y'know the most just live in small
They can't even find no food at all
[chorus]
[chorus]
