Train #10
Journey to Redemption: Tim McGraw's Train #10 Revelations
Lyrics
I'm gonna ride that iron horse into the sun
I plan to take a train journey, symbolized by the "iron horse," toward a new beginning.
I'm gonna say goodbye to you and all the things you've done
I'm bidding farewell to you and the past actions or experiences associated with you.
I used to be afraid but I know today's the day
Although I used to be scared, today is the day I face my fears and move forward.
I'll take the last train I can find
I'll choose the final available train, keeping the option open to change my decision.
Just in case I wanna change my mind
Leaving room for uncertainty, I might reconsider my choices before committing.
The last one out is number nine, but here I am just biding time again
The last train before mine is number nine, and I find myself waiting, merely passing time.
Waiting on train number ten
Anticipating the arrival of train number ten, I am in a state of anticipation.
One more drag off one more cigarette
Taking one last puff from a cigarette as a contemplative act before making a definitive decision.
I've made up my mind, but I ain't ready yet
I've mentally committed to a choice but still need more time to be fully prepared.
'Cause if that devil hits those tracks
Reference to potential negative influences ("devil") that could derail the journey.
I know that I can't come back
Acknowledging that once on the track, there's no turning back from the chosen path.
I'll take the last train I can find
Reiterating the intention to take the last available train, allowing room for reconsideration.
Just in case I wanna change my mind
Expressing the option to change one's mind even after the decision has been made.
The last one out is number nine, but here I am humming misery and gin
The last train before mine is number nine, and I'm waiting, feeling a sense of misery and regret.
Waiting on train number ten
The ongoing anticipation and waiting for train number ten despite uncertainties.
It's getting late; maybe tonight she won't show up and change my mind
Considering the possibility that circumstances might alter, affecting the decision.
I'll take the last train I can find
Reaffirming the choice to take the last train, keeping options open until the last moment.
Just in case I want to change my mind
Leaving room for the possibility of changing the decision up until the last available moment.
The last one out is number nine, but here I am just spitting in the wind
Reflecting a sense of frustration or futility, expressed by "spitting in the wind" while waiting.
Waiting on train number ten
Continuing to wait for train number ten despite uncertainties and internal conflicts.
Train number ten
The final line reaffirms the focus on waiting for the specific train, emphasizing its significance.
