lyrics

From the boxcars and the freight trains our thoughts they did stray
To the homes of our youth where our memories did lay
To the brothers and sisters we’ve lost on the way
Among the pastures of ageless sorrow

Well the dust it did cake on the roof walls and doors
No matter the wind that had blown there before
Our mouths they were dry and our words they did chew
On the endless biting laughter

I miss the old rails and the friends I once knew
When hope was not strickened by the greed of a few

Soldiers and painters and carpenters too
The men were all equal in all that we knew
For the price of a meal and a song for to sing
Oh I wish we were all there again

I miss the old rails and the friends I once knew
When hope was not strickened by the greed of a few

One night I dreamt and I felt most alone
My fear had surpassed all the songs that Id known
With a sky full of smoke as it blacked out the sun
In a world of pointless fighting

I miss the old rails and the friends I once knew
When hope was not strickened by the greed of a few
