Railroad
Railroad rolling, through the mountains
Takes my mind back home
Through the forest, sunlight's gorgeous
Coming through the pines
For this city is sprawling, the streets are rotten
The broken glass and the daily grind
How the thing I had wanted
I had gotten all along
A memory although faded
Carries me on
Old railroad go and take me home
I'm up with daylight
I don't get home 'till it's night
I'm tired of working all the time
For as a boy I'd greet the sunrise
And now how it sets as a fleeting smile
For all that time spent waiting
For my train out to arrive
Alas I've reached my destination
Now this forgotten soul
Old railroad go and take me home
Midnight rising on the horizon
Headed down railroad track
I've been waiting
I've been wanting to make my long way back
Five days leave I have been granted
For the six months I have worked
Headed back towards my childhood home
I thought I'd lost but that old railroad track
Go and take me back
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But most of all I miss my homeland
Takes my mind back home
Through the forest, sunlight's gorgeous
Coming through the pines
For this city is sprawling, the streets are rotten
The broken glass and the daily grind
How the thing I had wanted
I had gotten all along
A memory although faded
Carries me on
Old railroad go and take me home
I'm up with daylight
I don't get home 'till it's night
I'm tired of working all the time
For as a boy I'd greet the sunrise
And now how it sets as a fleeting smile
For all that time spent waiting
For my train out to arrive
Alas I've reached my destination
Now this forgotten soul
Old railroad go and take me home
Midnight rising on the horizon
Headed down railroad track
I've been waiting
I've been wanting to make my long way back
Five days leave I have been granted
For the six months I have worked
Headed back towards my childhood home
I thought I'd lost but that old railroad track
Go and take me back
I miss my family, I miss my friends
But most of all I miss my homeland
