lyrics

He’s has a ticket- and looks across the tracks He’s got no direction- but he’s never turning back
 There’s someone on the train, heading for the same place- 
He’ll see it in her eyes-
He’ll know it on her face 
And he finds himself a seat-
On the train to Rafferty-

There’s a story- In a movie that she once saw 
About a place she could run to, but she never knew how far-
She has a romance novel- in the bottom of her purse-
She never thought her life could go from bad to worse
And she slides into a seat-
On the train to Rafferty- On a Rafferty Train

And the train starts moving- down the line
Leaving everyone’s past behind 
No one knows what there're going to find  
But it’s gonna be different- different -
this time things will change-

They take the tickets- and they roll on down the track
The same direction- No one’s ever turning back
There’s some one on the train, heading for the same place- 
She’ll see it in her eyes- He’ll know it on her face 
They’re sharing the same seat- On the train to Rafferty-

Hook-laden rock and roll with a touch of Heartbreakers, Kinks, Bodeans, and and a pinch of soul, great live show, check out their four releases including "We're Not Kiddin' Around"-a collection of songs inspired by some great books. ... more
