John and Lucky saw me off The whistle called the times Just six days out to the coast Just six days behind But I`ve seen every state since then And where my boys have gone Is known to God and four strong winds And I`m here all alone
Now ten long years have somehow passed Since I`ve seen my hometown And times I`ve spent upon those streets And faint familiar sounds Still whisper gently in my ear And play upon my eyes And I`ll hold on to my memories Till one by one they die
I can hear your passing trains And I wonder what they see And somewhere`s out my window Are the places I might be
Now I`m chasing down those pretty little boys They wander through my mind Maybe they`ll remember me When I work off my time
But I still belong to everyone And if my sleep allows Well then all those boys Will dance tonight With me and my old pals
But I`m running every single night And every single days Lord I`ve tried everything I know To somehow find my way Back to that one place in time That fond memory endows Me and my old pals
