Lyrics
Sometimes I don't know which side I'm on
Left or right, or right or wrong
I keep enlightened and I read the news
But they write the news just to keep you confused
Here in the carnival all that survives
Echoes of simple and happier times
You make a dollar and you make your dime
But I'm just searching for the simple life
Down the tracks
You go hanging your head out the window
Looking back
As your train rushes on to tomorrow
Your daddy, he's an unhappy man
You live this life he can't understand
He keeps you down for your own protection
But he's trying to hide his own fear of rejection
Down the tracks
You go hanging your head out the window
Looking back
As your train rushes on to tomorrow
Everybody's out there doing that mainstreet jive
Out on the streets, dancing for their lives
All laughing and singing as they roll down the track
They don't notice their past catching up real fast
Down the tracks
You go hanging your head out the window
Looking back
As your train rushes on to tomorrow
Down the tracks
You go hanging your head out the window
Looking back
As your train rushes on to tomorrow
Looking back, looking back, down the tracks, down the tracks
You don't notice your past catchin' up real fast
Looking back, looking back, down the tracks, down the tracks
(Looking back, looking back, looking back, looking back)
(Standing up, I'm dying to go, I'm dying to go, I'm dying now)
