Railroad Days lyrics
Jan would climb up so high on the foul screen
Down below I would yell to watch out When we'd play ? was always the winner He was brave never listened to me shout Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall Hidin' out 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 Oh in my younger railroad days Some nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi Talkin' 'bout girls, or preposterous lies Laughin hard, watchin' Soupy at eleven Skonkin' 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 freer, 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 Oh in my younger railroad days
