Under the Wire

I need to feel redeemed
 I'm going sideways down
 An ever-winding road
 With an ever-unbinding load
 Of a one-track mind
 Of a love that's lost somehow
 Of a flashing sign
 I'm under the wire now
 Under the wire
 I'm a train down the line
 Nothing left to lose or gain
 But distance over time
 Under the wire
 Over all that we've been through
 Tell me what to do to get to you, ah
 I need to feel the breeze
 Of a new day's dawn
 I need to be released
 From the cold steel rail I'm on
 Shake the love for a woman
 Break the emotion overdrive
 Take the train to oblivion
 At the crossing of our lives
 Under the wire
 I'm a train down the line
 Nothing left to lose or gain
 But distance over time
 Under the wire
 Over all that we've been through
 Tell me what to do to get to you, ah
 I need to feel redeemed
 I wear my heart on a grimy sleeve
 I bear the pressure of oil and moving steam
 Unaware of my gaining speed
 I'm prepared to move ahead, or take the lead
 Under the wire
 I'm a train down the line
 With nothing left to lose or gain
 But distance over time
 Under the wire
 Over all that we've been through
 Tell me what to do to get to you, ah
 I am a steel freight train
 I am a train wreck, haulin' back to you
