Leaving right on time

My life is at the station the mason he's calling me to board

Standing on the platform

You say have a safe trip as I slip through the closing doors

Close your eyes feel the wind from the cars rushing by

Hollow railroad speed me away

Forward motion soothes me

Railroad go where you may anyway

As long as I'm moving

Watch it let it fade away

I don't say where I'll go, you don't know, and you don't care

You wonder did I understand

You would do me good if I should feel like coming home

Close your eyes hope that nobody sees you when you cry

Hollow railroad speed me away

Forward motion soothes me

Railroad go where you may anyway

As long as I'm moving

You know I'll never find

The kind of peace of mind here

That I'm looking for

Ya I gotta go

Close your eyes hope that nobody sees you when you cry
