Train in the Distance Don Henley (Ft. Lucinda Williams)

When I was a young boy
Roamin' on the railroad tracks
Put copper pennies on the rails
Locomotive come and squash 'em flat
We'd run to fetch 'em back
We'd run to fetch 'em back

Summer nights at gramma's house
Cozy in my bed
Dreams of far off places
And other lives to be led
Swirling in my head
Swirling in my head

And there's a train in the distance
There's a whistle calling
There's a train in the distance
Silver moonlight falling

Now I am a grown man
Turning in my sleep
Debts and obligations
Family ties run deep
Promises to keep
Promises to keep
