<b>If I'd Have Known</b> by <i>Kurth & Taylor</i><br />

(Randy HandleyJack Sundrud)

I remember my first ride

All aboard the eight-o-five

Ran from Dixie to Moline

Stopped about a hundred times between

Safe between my ma and pa

I saw boom-town America

Sailin' over waves of grain

Gone the way of the Heartland Train

Chorus:

H-o-o-o wa-a-h

On an iron horse to glory I did ride

H-o-o-o wa-a-h

When it felt like there was no end of the line

Holdin' on into the night

I counted every backwoods light

Lonesome whistle singin' sweet

Rhythm of the rails rock me to slee-eep

I dreamed I'd be the engineer

Steamin' through a new frontier

Boys will grow and dreams will fade

Gone the way of the Heartland Train

Chorus

Now all the farms amd old downtowns

Are boarded up or all torn down

Beaten by the winds of change

Gone the way of the Heartland Train

Yes, and...

Chorus X 2
