Railroad Song
Lyricist:Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce
When I was a boy in the days of the train I'd sit by the tracks on a long summer day And I'd wave at the brakesman And he'd wave back at me While the thunderclouds rolled Out of East Tennessee
But the dreams of a boy disappear when you're grown And though I may dream, the railroads are gone The ties they are rotten And the tracks shot to hell Along with my dreams and the old railroad bell
In my dreams I ride the rails to California Workin' diners and farms along the way Or I'd hop a ride to hide across the border With a black eyed girl beside me all the way Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Now the mountains are silent And the railroads are gone And the coal towns no longer hear the miners at dawn But the train whistle shrills out her memories to me While the thunderclouds roll out of East Tennessee
In my dreams I ride the rails to California Workin' diners and farms along the way Or I'd hop a ride to hide across the border With a black eyed girl beside me all the way
Now the mountains are silent And the railroads are gone And the coal towns no longer hear the miners at dawn But the train whistle shrills out her memories to me While the thunderclouds roll out of East Tennessee
