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
