lyrics

Poor grandmother and her tortured kin
Their eyes of wonder flood her oxygen
And her days are numbered and her bones are frail
Said death awaits under the rumbling rails
Every time I sit and watch the trains roll by I think about all the old times
When life was simple and the price was fair
And that old railroad would take you anywhere
It’s worthless living with no elbow room
Now I am sickened by the thought of you
Stop and listen to the days drag past
You’ll end up wishing you were built to last
Every time I sit and watch the trains roll by I think about all the old times
When life was simple and the price was fair
And that old railroad would take you anywhere
Wake up early just to feel the sun
You’re dead and surly before the day is done
