Anyway


I saw heaven going up and down the railroad
And me, I've got a feeling that it's going to derail
And I think I better take up walking,
Got a good feeling abut this trail

I do believe the speed was killing me
I was lost in the sound of machinery
And I thin I better keep on walking,
But I wouldn't mind some company

    If you call me up in the middle of the night
    I hope it's with good news, but if not, all right
    Because we are old friends and it's been much too long
    So come in, put your feet up and we'll sing all the old songs
    And I will listen anyway

I saw a little girl up in the peach tree
But me, I grew up around the apple orchards
And I got a little cinder in the back of my eye
Said to myself, oh what a fitting torture

And I take a little time to recognize
The parallel lines of the railroad ties
And I think I better take to walking
I've no time for compromise

So I head down the railroad
The earth pounding up against my feet
And I can't help but notice
That you and I are parallels who will never meet

I think I better keep on walking
I think it's good to sweat out you greed
Sometimes a call will save you,
Sometimes the number is all you need
And what was it you used to say to me?
