Did you hear the Dover train last night? I was riding the caboose I leaned on the back rail and watched the city lights Nearly lost my hat, it was on too loose I’m gonna leave behind this life of vice and corruption I’m in over my head – I need an interruption in my life With my old leather suitcase I strode up to the ticket clerk and said “One way to Rockaway One way to Rockaway” Train conductor opened the door right behind me Nearly scared me half to death He said, “now, son, why don’t you come inside?” I had to play it cool and slow my breath I took a seat in the back next to Old Man Rudy Who looked like some wise man straight out of a movie And he asked me, “where ya headed, son? And what’s with the gun?” I said, “I’m goin’ One way to Rockaway, One way to Rockaway” I told him my whole life story About my upcoming secret marriage In a safehouse in the hills of Morris About my fears when I step off this carriage Of men with guns and a penchant for violence Who stop at nothing and have no remorse He held out tickets to the Buffalo Express He said he didn’t need them, and it might be my only recourse To get far, far away from here Or I’ll live my life in fear I said, “thank you, sir” and tried to refuse I didn’t want to bring harm his way But I sure could use the help If I want to live another day That train pulled up to Rockaway station I picked up my suitcase –- my heart just set a-racin’ As I stepped down And walked along the platform And far, far away One way to Rockaway...
