Drunk and stoned, I took a hit down by the train track
I hear the whistle's song, this broken kid, he made a big dash
He learnt quick to get along
A change of time, packed up and left, goodbye the train track
You're lucky if I do, we'll go West
And get some big cash
We're lookin' back to see the way
Just keep on movin'
You keep away, I say
You got to change your backdrop, you got to keep a base
She was tall, a-lookin' up from the bottom of a beer glass
It's too insane, in my blood, my hand is showin' like a road map
So I got on to catch a breeze, I hated to go back
But when I think of all those times I just love the highlife
Just keep a-rollin', just keep a-movin' I say
You got to change your backdrop, you got to keep a base
I said, "Oh, it's so clear"
Oh, it's so clear
Oh, it's so clear, said
I said if you crawl to get on up, you're gonna level and get there
The feeling's gone, and you better get cleaned up
Start thinkin' of a new thing
'Cause now I see the other side
I done paid back, yes, I did
This ain't livin' on a train track, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Mm, the train track
