Religion On the Rails (I Saw You There)
I saw the weather change
Saw the Earth turn from gray to rain
Brought the piper his marmalade
And he handed me some yarn
We caught out on a grainer
That was picking up speed heading West
Threw our bags into the rabbit holes
As we laid our heads to rest
And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
But every man, there's a vacancy
For everything we wickedly implore
Oh Lord, keep it far from me
Don't want nothing to do with before
I guessed we were on the Illinois central line
Headed in for Iowa corn
Hadn't been clean in over two months' time
But dry was all that the preacher sold
And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
And I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again
'Cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again
Oh, we are only doing the best we can
Oh, I am doing the best I can
Oh, 'cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Saw the Earth turn from gray to rain
Brought the piper his marmalade
And he handed me some yarn
We caught out on a grainer
That was picking up speed heading West
Threw our bags into the rabbit holes
As we laid our heads to rest
And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
But every man, there's a vacancy
For everything we wickedly implore
Oh Lord, keep it far from me
Don't want nothing to do with before
I guessed we were on the Illinois central line
Headed in for Iowa corn
Hadn't been clean in over two months' time
But dry was all that the preacher sold
And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
And I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again
'Cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again
Oh, we are only doing the best we can
Oh, I am doing the best I can
Oh, 'cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
