Couplet 1

Tonight I've been
Counting railroad cars
Clinking and grinding
Into the dark
One of them passed
With an open door
And I pictured myself
Jumping on board

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Couplet 2

Well I always had this
Thing about trains
A lonesome sound like
A man in pain
Going somewhere
They don't lose track
Some folks leave
And they don't look back

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Pré-Refrain

I have believed since
I was a little bitty girl
That there were rules of cause and effect
And they slowly shaped my world
But pain and hard times
They come and they go
Like some blindfolded
Angel somewhere saying
Eeny meeny miny moe

Refrain

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Couplet 3

Why do I feel
Restless inside
Maybe I'm part of
A wandering tribe
I want to check
My family tree
I think there's a little
Nomad in me

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Couplet 4

Life is a thing
You drink in deep
The journey’s hard
And the journey's sweet
Maybe I'll search
And maybe I'll find
The things that I wanted
Were already mine

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Pré-Refrain 2

I have believed since
I was a little bitty girl
That there were rules of cause and effect
And they slowly shaped my world
But pain and hard times
They come and they go
Like some test of faith that purifies my
Weak belief into something gold

Refrain

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Refrain

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that

Couplet 5

Tonight I've been
Counting railroad cars
Clinking and grinding
Into the dark
One of them passed
With an open door
And I pictured myself
Jumping on board

Boucle

What is the chance of that
What is the chance of that
