Ridin' The Train
I'm not a fan of flying at all. I don't care about the statistics. However I do love the train and the ferry trip between Christchurch and Wellington. I wrote this song about one such trip. I took the train and ferry and my husband flew to Wellington.
Ridin' The Train - Music & Lyrics SL Miller
​
Chorus
I'm on this train, I’m on this train
Just cruising, watchin the world pass by
Sittin here relaxing, watchin land and sea
I’m on this train and it don’t bother me
​
Verse 1
I’m on my way to Wellington
I’m goin to see some friends up there
My man he won’t ride with me, he’s gonna fly instead
That don’t matter, I’m watching the scenery
​
Chorus
I'm on this train, I’m on this train
Just cruising, watchin the world pass by
Sittin here relaxing, watchin land and sea
I’m on this train and it don’t bother me
​
Verse 2
Hell I don’t fly, on them big planes
All that turbulence drives me insane
You won’t get me up there, in that big blue sky
Whenever I do, I think I’m gonna die
​
Chorus
I'm on this train, I’m on this train
Just cruising, watchin the world pass by
Sittin here relaxing, watchin land and sea
I’m on this train and it don’t bother me
​
Verse 3
New Zealands, so beautiful
Why would you wanna fly and miss it all
Rockin this train, is so peaceful
Sheep, sea and mountains, is what I want to see
​
Chorus
I'm on this train, I’m on this train
Just cruising, watchin the world pass by
Sittin here relaxing, watchin land and sea
I’m on this train and it don’t bother me
​
Verse 4
I’m on this boat, I’m on this boat,
Going through Queen Charlotte Sounds, I’m on this boat
Crossin Cook Strait, aboard Kaitaki
I’m on this boat and it don’t bother me
Crossin Cook Strait, aboard Kaitaki
I’m on this boat, it don’t bother me
