The Cattle And The Train şarkı sözleri

I heard it on the channel five news They said there was a train comin' through There hadn't been an engine runnin' down that rail Since Butch and Sundance hit the trail We were loadin' cattle that day Across the bridge over Peterson way Reporters gathered in their camera attire To watch the American Flyer CHORUS: And feel the spirit of the olden days Remember the buffalo and the old Indian ways It's just a little story about 1889 When the cattle and the trains meant a new way of life Union Pacific station 25th and Wall See the old red steamers sittin' in their stalls And the pictures of the cowboys ridin' by the rails When the roads through the west were less than trails We stopped our ponies and we smiled wide With cattle bawlin' as the train horn cried And I could almost see an Indian standin' there Wonderin' what the hell and where CHORUS No one takes a train anymore Airplanes and automobiles galore But I'm livin' in a way that's been left far behind Starin' down that old railroad line CHORUS A new way of life A new way of life
