Get On The One

Written by Tommy Shaw

Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

Lost and lonely at the station
Wanting to be anywhere but here
Taking names and, look here son,
These all have a destination
And if you listen you can hear

Then get on the one that calls your name

Get one the one that likes your fame
Get one the one that goes all night
The one that makes you feel alright

Get on the one that makes you smile
Ride that train for a thousand miles
Get on the one that stays on the track
Then you never ever gonna look back

Sun was shining on the outside
It was raining in my soul
Girl that taking me for what I love a ride
I won't be going back no more, no more

Then get on the one that calls my name
Get one the one that lights my flame
Get one the one that goes all night
The one that makes me feel alright
Get on the one that makes me smile
Ride that train for a thousand miles
Get on the one that stays on the track
And I'm never ever gonna look back

Hey, oh

Get on the one that calls my name
Get one the one that lights my flame
Gonna get one the one that goes all night
The one that makes me feel alright
Get on the one that makes me smile
Ride that train for a thousand miles
Get on the one that stays on the track
And I'm never ever gonna look back
Interpretation

A conductor is riding on a train with his son, showing him the joy of train travel. He sees lonely people looking to go somewhere better, takes tickets and then shows his son at all the great destinations. Just get on the one that takes you where you want to be and enjoy the ride.
