“Thommy and I wrote this one together inspired by his fandom for trains (don't ask me why). It’s quite the straightforward rock n’ roll arrangement; but, I always enjoy taking the opportunity to include a harmonica line in our work. It sounds like an air whistle letting people know BreakTime left the Great Times station. A fitting conclusion.” - Sean Manuel
lyrics
Gonna Catch a Ride 425 now,
Gonna get a thrill…gonna get alive now,
Gonna Catch a Ride 425 now,
Gonna pack the bags…gonna ditch the rags now
Take the past and leave it at the door
If you think I’m taking anymore
I’m getting up and getting off the floor…425!
Gonna blow some steam 425 now,
Gonna make a point…gonna make a scene now,
Gonna blow some steam 425 now,
Gonna mix it up…gonna rip it up now,
Take the past and leave it at the door
If you think I’m taking anymore
I’m getting up and getting off the floor…425!
I got a one-way ticket down the track,
Honey let me tell you I ain’t coming back,
The engine’s roaring up the hill,
You can really hear that whistle shrill!
Gonna roll along 425 now,
Gonna chase the dream, gonna take a chance now,
Gonna roll along 425 now,
Gonna make a way to another day now,
Take the past and leave it at the door
If you think I’m taking anymore
I’m getting up and getting off the floor…425!
(guitar solo)
I got a one-way ticket down the track,
Honey let me tell you I ain’t coming back,
The engine’s roaring up the hill,
You can really hear that whistle shrill!
Gonna Catch a Ride 425 now,
Gonna get a thrill…gonna get alive now,
Gonna Catch a Ride 425 now,
Gonna pack the bags…gonna ditch the rags now
Take the past and leave it at the door
If you think I’m taking anymore
I’m getting up and getting off the floor…425!
425!
425!
