Bob Seger - Railroad Days Lyrics
Jan would climb up so high on the foul screenDown below I would yell to watch outWhen we'd play ? was always the winnerHe was brave never listened to me shoutAfternoons playin' ball by the old wallHidin' out and of course be the starKept my records in old looseleaf notebooksAnd today I think I still know where they areOh, Railroad daysRailroad daysRailroad daysWhen I was young, in my primeOn my wayWhen the rain never got in my wayoh in my younger railroad daysSome nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fiTalkin' 'bout girls, or preposterous liesLaughin hard, watchin' Soupy at elevenSkonkin' down, one of Mom's lemon piesTen o'clock, bringin' groceries from the marketSingin songs, to the darkness of the nightEven sang the parts the instruments were playingLife was freer, dreams were really quite all rightOh, Railroad daysRailroad daysRailroad daysWhen the sun seemed to smile on it's wayWhen the darkness was easier to play yeahoh in my younger railroad daysYesterday, I heard they shut the trains downThe ones than ran, by the field where I would playSaid the folks want new and faster transportationIt's just like me, I'll be obsolete one dayOh, Railroad daysRailroad daysRailroad daysWhen I was young, in my primeOn my wayWhen the rain never got in my wayoh in my younger railroad days
