Silver Train

I used to dream when I was young

of a man who traveled around.

Rollin' over the vast terrain

by the drone of a steam engine sound.

I dreamt of good lands and badlands

And places with mountains of snow.

Rivers rushing through the canyons to valleys below

I got a ticket on a silver train

taking a countrywide tour.

I've got a ticket on a silver train

leaving at quarter to four.

I go alone, through the unknown.

I might have flown,

but I wanted to see even more.

'Til it comes, I'll be waiting by the station door.

When I had grown, I realized

that I was the man on the train.

Came upon me like a winter storm

when I saw what my dreams were saying.

Three thousands miles as the crow flies,

and all places in between.

I had to see everything that I hadn't seen.

I got a ticket on a silver train

taking a countrywide tour.

I've got a ticket on a silver train

leaving at quarter to four.

I go alone, through the unknown.

I might have flown,

but I wanted to see even more.

'Til it comes, I'll be waiting by the station door.

Just a half an hour and I'll be on my way

to follow the course of my dream.

Gonna find out all for myself

if things can be just as they seem.

As I roll across the country

I'll always keep in mind

natural beauty is the best beauty I'll ever find.

I got a ticket on a silver train

taking a countrywide tour.

I've got a ticket on a silver train

leaving at quarter to four.

I go alone, through the unknown.

I might have flown,

but I wanted to see even more.

'Til it comes, I'll be waiting by the station door.
