[Intro – Clean Electric Guitar (clean jangle rhythm, major chords), Bass Guitar (walking bass line), Drums (snare + hi-hat shuffle groove), Tambourine (light accents on 2 & 4)]
Ooooh… train ride love…!
[Verse 1 – Rhythm Electric Guitar (clean tone, steady downstrokes), Drums (light kick, snare shuffle), Bass Guitar (following chord roots), Handclaps (on beats 2 & 4 for swing feel)]
I saw her on the platform, sunlight in her hair,
Ticket in her hand, with a breeze in the air,
She smiled just once, and time stood still,
My heart went racing—I think it always will!
[Pre-Chorus – Add Acoustic Guitar (strumming softly), Add Piano (light chords on off-beats), Drums add snare roll buildup]
Maybe it’s crazy, falling so fast,
But this train’s moving and I want it to last—
[Chorus – Full band enters (Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Tambourine)]
Yeah!...yeah!...yeah!...
Train ride love, speeding through my veins,
Every smile she gives just drives me insane,
Oh, I don’t know where we’ll go tonight,
But my heart’s on track and it feels so right!
[Verse 2 – Guitars return to lighter rhythm, Add subtle Organ (vintage tone, background pad), Drums steady mid-tempo groove]
She sat across, I tried to speak,
Words disappeared, my knees felt weak,
She laughed a bit, said “Where you bound?”
I said, “Wherever love is found!”
[Pre-Chorus – Acoustic Guitar + Piano again, Short Drum fill into chorus]
Maybe it’s fleeting, maybe it’s true,
But I’m lost in motion whenever I see you—
[Chorus – Full Band again, bright harmonies, Handclaps, Tambourine]
Yeah!...yeah!..yeah!
Train ride love, it’s a runaway track,
No map, no plan, no looking back,
The wheels keep turning, my heart’s in gear,
And I’m just glad that you are here!
[Bridge – Electric Guitar (melodic solo, major key, bright tone), Bass & Drums hold steady rhythm
doo...doo...doo...
[Final Chorus – All instruments back with full energy, Harmony vocals join lead, Drums include crash cymbals and upbeat fills]
Train ride love, can’t slow it down,
Hearts on fire in this traveling town,
If the journey ends or carries on,
I’ll still be singing this train ride song!
[Outro – Guitar fade-out (rhythmic strums), Drums slow to a stop, Bass plays last walking note]
Oooh… train ride love…
Oooh… train ride love…
Oooh… train ride love…
