AMERICA - SLEEPER TRAIN lyrics

Written by Dewey Bunnell, Bill Mumy, and Robert Haimer, ©1994

Found on Hourglass.

I was on a sleeper train

Bound for anywhere

And I was gazin' out the window

In a long stare

Watchin' the sage brush go by

And a pink and yellow sky

Thinkin' 'bout your eyes

Feelin' good to be alive

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

And I was watchin' the towns drift into view

Listenin' to my thoughts of you

And the rhythm of the wheels

And the shadows on the hills

Leavin' one more life behind

Never knowin' what I'd find

Such a distant great expanse

And the dust-devils, they dance

And I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

Abandon everything that went before

Ahead now lies another open door

Abandon everything that went before

I was on a sleeper train

Bound for anywhere

And I was gazin' out the window

In a long stare

Watchin' the sage brush go by

And a pink and yellow sky

Thinkin' 'bout your eyes

Feelin' good to be alive

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

I was dreamin' of you

Feelin' lucky

The train kept rollin'
