Deric Ruttan - Where the Train Don\'t Stop lyrics

rate me

<br>

There's a stop sign full of buckshot holes<br>

And a rusted El Camino<br>

Dandelions grown up through the gears<br>

Old men outside the barber shop<br>

Kids sittin' in the parkin' lot<br>

Tryin' to find a way to buy some beer<br>

This ol' two-lane is the one way out or in<br>

Where the train don't stop and the river never ends<br>

<br>

Grandpa used to tell the story<br>

How him and Alan Doley<br>

Shipped out to fight the Germans in the war<br>

And each November the 11<br>

Grandpa looked up at the heavens -<br>

Prayed for his friend who fell in '44<br>

'Cause he never god to live the life he lived<br>

Where the train don't stop and the river never ends<br>

<br>

Where the flag still flies in a small town sky<br>

Where your collar's as blue as it gets<br>

Where you might get loud Friday night in town<br>

But Sunday you're bowin' your head<br>

Where the train don't stop and the river never ends<br>

<br>

To some it's just a map dot -<br>

Left turn past the truckstop<br>

But the pace of life here suits me fine<br>

My little boy turned five today<br>

We walked down to the tracks and waved<br>

As that CNR went rollin' by<br>

Feelin' blessed I get to raise my kids<br>

Where the train don't stop and the river never ends<br>

<br>

Where the flag still flies in a small town sky<br>

Where your collar's as blue as it gets<br>

Where you might get loud Friday night in town<br>

But Sunday you're bowin' your head<br>

And thankin' the Lord that you live<br>

Where the train don't stop and the river never ends<br>

<br>
