Lucasville was the homestead of mine
Each morning steam simmering up the incline
That'd be my signal to grab my suitcase and cane
Boarding the magnificent Zig Zag train
A parting goodbye at the homestead on the hill
My dinner is waiting for me at Lucasville
After a long day I'm dying to get off my feet
She hands me a letter with tears rolling down her cheeks
"Dear Madam and or Sir" the letter began to say
"We require you to pack up and move away"
Demolition imminent at the homestead on the hill
Our lives were uprooted from our home at Lucasville
Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville
We never wanted to leave, it was against our will
Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville
Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill
Today, decades older but still I remember clear
These memories forever fading is my greatest fear
The track is gone, barely any trace is left there
My wife, bless her, and I had great memories to share
Wish we had those times again at the homestead on the hill
Wish my wife and I could still have our Lucasville
The station is overgrown, with not even the station chair
It's hard to believe our old home is now nowhere
By the next summer the cancer had spread
Here I lie alone in my hospital bed
Take me back to Lapstone to our homestead on the hill
With my late wife and our dear, dear Lucasville
Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville
We never wanted to leave, it was against our will
Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville
Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill
Today I lie dying in my hospital bed
Recalling all the times we had and said
Just like the station, nature's edging me away
My life is like an evening's last moment sunray
I'm drifting away to the homestead on the hill
Far way to days long gone at Lucasville
Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville
We never wanted to leave, it was against our will
Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville
Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill
Yeah, here we go again!
