Leaving right on time

My life is at the station the mason he's calling me to board

Standing on the platform

You say have a safe trip as I slip through the closing doors


Close your eyes feel the wind from the cars rushing by


Hollow railroad speed me away

Forward motion soothes me

Railroad go where you may anyway

As long as I'm moving


Watch it let it fade away

I don't say where I'll go, you don't know, and you don't care

You wonder did I understand

You would do me good if I should feel like coming home


Close your eyes hope that nobody sees you when you cry


Hollow railroad speed me away

Forward motion soothes me

Railroad go where you may anyway

As long as I'm moving


You know I'll never find

The kind of peace of mind here

That I'm looking for

Ya I gotta go


Close your eyes hope that nobody sees you when you cry
