It was her most prized possession in the flood of '27
Her feeble hands stitched many a cloth
Boxed and boarded on a freight train
Bound for higher dryer better days
That ol' Singer rolled right out of town

There's a lifetime in her suitcase
She left behind her hopes and dreams
To drown in the Mississippi
But she's still got her wedding ring
Her heart is stitched with threads of
repeated starts anew
But somehow this one's different
On that train to Muleshoe

He lost a lifetime after fighting
In his country's civil war
Returned to a homestead no more
The sacrifice his wife gave
Lay down her life to save
The children that she most adored

There's a lifetime in his suitcase
He's gathered up his hopes and dreams
There's a distant land that promises
A song that all can sing
His heart is stitched with threads of
repeated starts anew
But somehow this one's different
On that train to Muleshoe

Chugga chugga chugga clackity clack
I hear the distant sound circling back
Gather closer get ready it's almost here
Eyes wide not gonna miss
Such a moment a time like this
Huddle closer count all your kids

There's a lifetime in each suitcase
They planted all their hopes and dreams
The sun shines bright on sweat and tears
Pride rides on moonlights beams
Their hearts are stitched with threads of
Repeated starts anew
But this one keeps its promise
On that train to Muleshoe

This one keeps its promise
On that train to Muleshoe

This one keeps its promise
On that train to Muleshoe
