"I Retired" lyrics

"I Retired"

I retired from my fight
I retired from my war
No one knows what I was fighting for
I don't even know myself anymore

All the water in the ground
Someday'll dry up and die out
All the fire in your heart won't help
All the smoke up in your head never will
All the fire in your heart won't help
All the smoke up in your head never will

As long as I can keep the train rolling, oh ho
Then all my friends will always know they'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the engine humming, uh huh
Then all my friends will always know they'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the engine humming, uh huh
Then all my friends will always know they'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the train rolling, uh huh
Then all my friends will always know they'll never be alone
