Nowhere Train

I had a girlfriend in college who was a slightly older supermodel. She was on billboards. She wore fur coats, drove expensive cars, and had a string of previous boyfriends who all owned their own jet airplanes. I was just some penniless cowboy student she was having fun with and I remembered thinking that the relationship was going nowhere since I had nothing to offer her except for a song or two. Of course I fell in love with her.

Sometimes when I write I also have a future music video playing in my head. In this one I saw a guy carrying his glamorous paparazzi endowed date's bags onto an airplane, or as it ended up in the song, a train. I also remembered the story about when Britney Spears married that dude for about a week and then annulled it.

That's how I felt when I was 18. That's the gist of the song - "I'm your man - until you're done..." Funny thing, I looked back at my notes for this song and my original first line was "Runway Girl".
