Just another railroad train, full of freighter promises
It's rolling through some dirty backwoods now
Just another railroad train, full of freighter promises
Like when you were a child
I could hear magic in my ears if I listened
There was treasure beneath my feet if I just dug
There were dangerous secrets in the dark woods
I needed to know, it was soon time to go, listen
I hear another railroad train, full of freighter promises
It's rolling through some dirty backwoods now
Just another railroad train, full of freighter promises
Like when you were a child
I chased her down among the fruit trees through the closed lines
A heaven of fresh cotton round my nose
You know the mood of nature laughs at people
We should be laughing too, the 1240's passing through
Just another railroad train, full of freighter promises
Like when you were a child
When you were a child
