I chose a life of missed callings and lost hopes of empty trains and railway dreams losing fast and gaining steam I was born tonight down highway skies when miles race under my head I'll remember what you said and I'll stay out till it's done for me and my legacy will be one that keeps pushing me away so it's back to engines underfoot and miles of great disdain they never understand the way I walk and it's you that knows it's the way I talk that keeps me from knowing when I should see the thing you're showing me and it looks like that that that'll make me stay with you keep your cool I'll be home soon and know that it's you
