[Verse 1]
Chan would climb up so high on the foul screen
Down below I would yell to watch out
When we'd play Chan was always the winner
He was brave, he never listened to me shout
[Verse 2]
Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall
I'd announce and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today I think I still know where they are
[Chorus]
Oh, railroad days, railroad days, railroad days
When I's young, in my prime, on my way
When the rain never got in my way, yeah
Oh, in my younger railroad days
[Verse 3]
Summer nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi
Talkin' 'bout girls, all preposterous lies
Laughin' hard watchin' Soupy at eleven
Skonkin' down one of Mom's lemon pies
[Verse 4]
Ten o'clock, bringin' groceries from the market
Singin' songs to the darkness of the night
Even sang the parts the instruments were playing
Life was free, dreams were really quite all right
Chan would climb up so high on the foul screen
Down below I would yell to watch out
When we'd play Chan was always the winner
He was brave, he never listened to me shout
[Verse 2]
Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall
I'd announce and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today I think I still know where they are
[Chorus]
Oh, railroad days, railroad days, railroad days
When I's young, in my prime, on my way
When the rain never got in my way, yeah
Oh, in my younger railroad days
[Verse 3]
Summer nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi
Talkin' 'bout girls, all preposterous lies
Laughin' hard watchin' Soupy at eleven
Skonkin' down one of Mom's lemon pies
[Verse 4]
Ten o'clock, bringin' groceries from the market
Singin' songs to the darkness of the night
Even sang the parts the instruments were playing
Life was free, dreams were really quite all right
