Don Henley, Lucinda Williams - Train in the Distance lyrics
[Don Henley, Lucinda Williams - Train in the Distance lyrics]
When I was a young boy
Roamin' on the railroad tracks
Put copper pennies on the rails
Locomotive come and squash 'em flat
We'd run to fetch 'em back
We'd run to fetch 'em back
Summer nights at gramma's house
Cozy in my bed dreams of far off places
And other lives to be led
Swirling in my head swirling in my head
And there's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
Silver moonlight falling
Now I am a grown man turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations family ties run deep
Promises to keep promises to keep
But there's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
There's a light rain falling
You can ride that train
To the far end of creation
Away from everything and everyone you know
You better make friends
With your angels and your demons
They will be riding with you
Wherever you may go but, you have to go
There's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
Autumn leaves are falling
Roamin' on the railroad tracks
Put copper pennies on the rails
Locomotive come and squash 'em flat
We'd run to fetch 'em back
We'd run to fetch 'em back
Summer nights at gramma's house
Cozy in my bed dreams of far off places
And other lives to be led
Swirling in my head swirling in my head
And there's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
Silver moonlight falling
Now I am a grown man turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations family ties run deep
Promises to keep promises to keep
But there's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
There's a light rain falling
You can ride that train
To the far end of creation
Away from everything and everyone you know
You better make friends
With your angels and your demons
They will be riding with you
Wherever you may go but, you have to go
There's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
Autumn leaves are falling
