Song Description

A song about time, and it's effects are things such as train stations.

Lyrics

I went to buy a ticket on the rockin' railroad line.
So, I pulled into the station, but the train I could not find.
My new amp was in the backseat; my guitar was in my hand,
And a voice told me the train has broken down.

I started asking questions about where the railroad went,
And the ghost that did the talking sat beside me to lament.
He said, 'Once there was a multitude of venues on this track,
But through the years, the TV screen has pulled that circuit to the back.'

Refrain:
The train has broken down.
The train has broken down.

I walked along the buildings that had lined the abandoned track.
What once were handsome clubs and ballrooms had turned to run-down shacks.
And, I can only picture just how beautiful it was,
Where now, I ramble constantly with nowhere to plug in, because . . .

REFRAIN

Walk with me; talk with me; hear the words I'm singing.
My guitar is ringing out of tune.
Can we work together to bring it back to perfect pitch?
Can we get our abandoned line of concert venues rolling once again?

REFRAIN
