| Bonus Track |
(Rick Moranis)
Well I’m movin’ along
Singin’ my song
About coal smoke and valve oil and steam.
Daybreak Express and the Rock Island Line
Tennessee Central the Old Number 9
Full throttle boxcar,
A steel-drivin man.
Midnight,
I’m doin’ what I can
I’m holding back tears
I’m one brave engineer
Lonesome and lost and in love.
Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe
Glendale, Poor Valley, mystery train.
Cold Mountain, Sligo
A tie-walkin’ man
Midnight
I’m doing what I can.
These trains, they take me away from you
And right away I want to get back
So I’m leaving here tonight on the next one that comes
I’m ridin’ on the bonus track.
I shudder to think
I might find that missing link
That keeps me this tight to the rail.
Nickle Plate Road, it’s the 759
Toe River, Memphis, the end of the line.
Freedom and Friendship
A brakeman’s man,
Midnight
I’m doing what I can.
These trains they take me to places unknown
A hobo with dreams in my sack
A parallel world that’s all my own
I’m ridin’ on the bonus track.
