Story Behind The Song
Some people sit on a train facing front and others facing back. It gives a different point of view but the destination is the same.
We are all on the same ride but our experiance of it is unique. The journey is repeated daily and for generations.

Lyrics
Railroad Man
I grew up by the railroad track
The trains go out and the trains come back.
In the early morning the six fifteen
Returns at night just a shakin my dreams
All my life spent by the railroad track.
Face front or back boy
It could change your point of view
But your destinations
Oh they'll never change
On a travelling train
I saw you first on the platform side
Now we're together for the rest of the ride
When it comes the time for me to alight
The seat comes free for the new-born child
All my life spent by the railroad track.
Face front or back boy
It could change your point of view
But your destinations
Oh they'll never change
On a travelling train
