What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The station was empty
2
The trains were all gone
3
I reached in my pocket
4
And I wanted for dawn
5
Chorus:
6
The clock played drums
7
And I hummed the sax
8
And the wind whistled down
9
The railroad tracks
10
Hey three for a quarter
11
One for a dime
12
I'll bet it's tomorrow
13
By rocky mountain time
14
I walked in the restaurant
15
For something to do
16
The waitress yelled at me
17
And so did the food
18
And the water taste funny
19
When you're far from your home
20
But it's only the thirsty
21
That hunger to roam
22
(repeat chorus)
23
We'll build us a castle on main street
24
And pretend that we're down on the farm
25
Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to
26
Then we'll twist off each other's arm
27
Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely
28
I can't even make friends with my brain
29
I'm too young to be where I'm going
30
But I'm too old to go back again
31
(repeat first verse and chorus)
