Ocie Elliott - Tracks lyrics

At the end of summer we set off like trains
In the humid, hot weather walking
 no sign of rain we rolled
About thirty miles
Stopping only for barley water
Three sons of parents and another
Pair of parent’s daughters

Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks

Smoke from the forest fires
Filled up the air
While we jumped in the lake tired
In our underwear and then kept traveling on
Upon trestles through the darkness
The full moon glowing orange
In the woods we found a spot to rest

On the tracks walking on the tracks
Walking on the tracks walking on the tracks

Oh, that old-time feeling of
Walking without a care
All them natural joys and fears do
Rise and raise our hair

Walking on the tracks walking on the tracks
Walking on the tracks walking on the tracks

Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks
Walking down the tracks
