Custom Detroit Railroad

I took a ride when I was a child

We drove the custom Detroit railroad

Rows and rows of houses

Did they bulldoze every one?

Streetcars put to fire in L.A. yesterday

I took a ride when I was a child

We drove the custom Detroit railroad

Before the road came in there was a boy

Who wandered all the empty corridors

Where families used to live

He saw crystal chandeliers and treasures

He brought them home

I took a ride when I was a child

We drove the custom Detroit railroad

Later on they found him living all alone

His house was full of books and poems from some other age

A time before the custom Detroit railroad

I took a ride when I was a child

We drove the custom Detroit railroad

I took a ride when I was a child

We drove the custom Detroit railroad

We drove the custom Detroit railroad
