Lyrics:
Tonight Ive been counting railroad cars Clinking and grinding into the dark
One of them passed with an open door And I pictured myself jumping on
board What is the chance of that Well Ive always had this thing about trains
A lonesome sound like a man in pain Going somewhere they dont lose track
Some folks leave and they dont look back What is the chance of that
I have believed since I was a little bitty girl That there were rules of cause
and effect And they slowly shaped my world But pain and hard times they
come and they go Like some blindfolded angel somewhere saying Eeny
Meeny Miny Moe What is the chance of that
Why do I feel restless inside Maybe Im part of a wandering tribe I want
to check my family tree I think theres a little nomad in me What is the
chance of that Life is a thing you drink in deep The journey is hard and the
journeys sweet Maybe Ill search and maybe Ill find Things I wanted were
already mine What is the chance of that
I have believed since I was a little bitty girl That there were rules of cause
and effect And they slowly shaped my world But pain and hard times they
come and they go Like some test of faith that purifies my Weak belief
into something gold What is the chance of that

Behind the Song:
I wrote this song in 1996. I was asking a lot of questions about truth and reality in those last couple of years
of my first marriage. With so much uncertainty in my life, music was a safe place to explore the landscape. A lot
has changed since then. ...I still like trains. - Amy Grant
