One, Two-
We're gonna go by train, and see the countryside
We don't know the way the rails decide
Stop until we find, our welcome has expired
Hang around and act like we're retired
We'll take in all the scenery, we all but pay no heed
And hurtle through this world at breakneck speed
The slower sides of towns, where commerce used to thrive
Shoved aside by hustling to survive
Grain elevators, half-busy noontime grills
Broken glass in empty textile mills
We'll take in all the scenery, our working days concede
And hurtle through this work at breakneck speed
Clanging bells and red lights, barricades
Hold up the small parade of passing, cars
All I want is, time enough, to look you in the eye
And know you as you are
We'll take in all the scenery, our surface scratches bleed
And hurtle through this world at breakneck speed
We're gonna go by train
Where quiet jewels are strewn
Takes the time it takes, we'll write you soon
Catch the few that hide
Away from interstates
And pushy folks with too much on their plates
We'll take in all the scenery, we all but pay no heed
And hurtle through this world at breakneck speed
Hurtle through this world, hurtle through this world
Hurtle through this world at breakneck speed
Hurtle through this world, hurtle through this world
Hurtle through this world at breakneck speed
