Bob Seger - Railroad Days letra de (lyrics)

Jan would climb
Up so high on the foul screen down below
I would yell to watch out when we'd play
Jan was always the winner he was brave
He never listened to me shout

Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall
I'd announce and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today
I think I still know where they are

Oh, railroad days railroad days
Railroad days when I was young
In my prime on my way
When the rain never got in my way, yeah
Oh in my younger railroad days

Summer nights drifters playin' on the hi-fi
Talkin' 'bout girls all preposterous lies
Laughin' hard watchin' Soupy at eleven
Stalkin' down one of Mom's lemon pies

Ten o'clock
Bringin' groceries from the market
Singin' songs to the darkness of the night
Even sang
The parts the instruments were playing
Life was free
Dreams were really quite all right

Oh, railroad days railroad days
Railroad days when the sun
Seemed to smile on it's way
When the darkness was easier to play, yeah
Oh in my younger railroad days

Yesterday i heard they shut the trains down
The ones than ran
By the field where I would play
Said the folks want
New and faster transportation
It's just like me i'll be obsolete one day

Oh, railroad days railroad days
Railroad days when I was young
In my prime on my way
When the rain never got in my way, yeah
Oh in my younger railroad days
