You’ve placed a thousand pennies on those rust-reddened tracks
Just to hide the flattened copper in your pockets
You watch the caboose fade to dark horizon
Bound for places so far from your own
Cause that black sky has the answers
Spreading over miles and miles of buildings, faces, cars, and railroad tracks
Old smoke stack and pilot tear the air
Across acres of desert sage
Cities rise and glow beyond flat mesas
And in your mind you too are moving fast
Well you know those wheels can snap your limbs like hallow bird bones
But that doesn’t dim the promise of flight
Still you stay earthbound, flapping against this dry town
While the vagabond rolls unseen through the night
Cause that black sky had the answers
Back when trains held more than freight and stowaways could ride out the stars
