Freight Train

FREIGHT TRAIN Teitur

I was born my parents son
From my first breath I was the one
Expected to hang the moon

I learned to walk in my fathers shoes
I loved my mother like good boys do
I never rode a freight train

I scored the winning goal for my home team
and made the grades for university
I hung my diploma on the wall

I signed on to be a company man
It was all part of a master plan
I never rode a freight train
I never saw the stars on Hollywood and vine

I never kissed the wrong girl
I never got drunk in Spain
No I never rode a freight train

I fell in love with a debutant
I gave her a ring in a restaurant
I bought us a home in the right part of town

We had a son, he looked up to me
I said "I love you but promise me you'll never say
I never rode a freight train
I never saw the stars on hollywood and vine"

I never kissed the wrong girl at the right time
I never got drunk in Spain
No I never rode, I never rolled
A freight train.
