Lyrics:
world I take him out for tea,
Oh my god, can't say no.
Skipping school, go walk for air, I just had to get out of bed,
I'm on overload in my head.
Train
oh yes he is
(Whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I'll be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train
consolation
That the world is well disguised
He stared into the night no expectations
He watched the world go by without a sound
He saw the city lights
line
Down in the train yard out by the stockyard
Butchers with aprons hack meat in the snow
Blood has the brothers pulsing with envy
Heading for
sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulled out at Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that
(Two, three, go)
I'm sunny side and over easy
Hundred miles from Alameda
Stopping by and taking in the view
Just pickin' up a souvenir
Swap
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I thank God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way
as hound dogs bay
Never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
There ain't no standin' room
Bright blue boxcars train by train
Clatter
to miss it on this evening Christmas eve
He stared into the night, no expectations
He watched the world go by without a sound
He saw the city lights arrive
jump in bed by ten
She'd tell me that she loved me
She would forevermore
But that train don't stop here
Anymore
Nothin' changes faster than baby's
train again
Down the hill and cryin' out loud
Won't you watch that white steam cloud
Brings me back to days gone by
When I watch his lay ride by
Now
and it's hard to bare such a lonely wind
You can change a strangers life by letting yours begin
On and on it goes, chances everywhere
Like the train you
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route
cold road
I've been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights
Hoping I can find myself back home
Now, I'm breaking horses out in Tishomingo
a moving train
And wondered where the train has been
Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for
a moving train
And wondered where the train has been
Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for
ain't asleep to stand right up and yell.
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter!
It's getting light outside.
This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain
sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulled out at Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that
right up and yell
Hey porter! Hey porter
It's getting light outside
This old train is puffing smoke
And I have to strain my eyes
But ask that engineer if
asleep
To stand right up and yell.
Hey porter! Hey porter!
It's getting light outside.
This old train is puffin' smoke,
And I have to strain my
coal train has hauled it away
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my
asleep
To stand right up and yell.
Hey porter! Hey porter!
It's getting light outside.
This old train is puffin' smoke,
And I have to strain my
sacks of mail
All along a southbound odyssey
The train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' towns that have no name
creeping
Like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end
Will the final couplet rhyme
And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high
