RICKETY OLD RAILROAD TRACK
It’s
a rickety old railroad track
That
takes you out of town and brings you back
And
you can’t go faster than the clickity-clack
Of
that rickety old railroad track
Because
leaving is never smooth
There
are roots to rip and tear
And
the friends that waved goodbye to you
Are
calling you back there
‘Cause
you never know where you’re going
And
you never know who you’ll meet
You
could be all alone on a stormy night
Or
sitting on easy street
It’s
a rickety old railroad track
That
takes you out of town and brings you back
And
you can’t go faster than the clickity-clack
Of
that rickety old railroad track
You
may be leaving on a bus or leaving on a train
Or
heading down that big highway
There
are things that are pushing you down the road
And
things that make you want to stay
‘Cause
the sunrise comes too early
And
the sunset much too late
You
think that leaving’s hard to do
But
it’s perilous hard to wait
And
you better keep moving, yes you better keep rolling
No,
you better not give up now
‘Cause
your damned if you do and your damned if you don’t
So
you better keep moving somehow
It’s
a rickety old railroad track
That
takes you out of town and brings you back
And
adventures may be calling you
Saying
catch me if you dare
And
your bags are packed and loaded
And
your thoughts already there
You’re
on a fastest car out of town
Or
leaving on the fastest plane
But
your heart will be arriving later
On
a slow and a rickety train
But
you better keep moving, yes you better keep rolling
No,
you better not give up now
‘Cause
your damned if you do and your damned if you don’t
So
you better keep moving somehow
It’s
a rickety old railroad track
That
takes you out of town and brings you back
And
you can’t go faster than the clickity-clack
Of
that rickety old railroad track
It’s
a rickety old railroad track
That
takes you out of town and brings you back
And
you can’t go faster than the clickity-clack
Of that rickety old railroad track
It's a rickety old railroad track
It's a rickety old railroad track
And you can't go faster than the clickity-clack
No you can't go faster than the clickity-clack
Rickety old railroad track
Clickity-clack that railroad track...
