The Day We Caught the Train

Never saw it as the start, it's more a change of heart

Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot

Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot

I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour

Whiling just an hour away

Looking at the trees on the roadside

Feeling it's a holiday

Well, you and I should ride the coast

And wind up in our favorite coats just miles away

Roll a number, write another song

Like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la

He sips another rum and coke and told a dirty joke

Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number ten

Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns, walked in

I've missed the crush and I'm home again

Stepping through the door with the night in store

Whiling just an hour away

Step into the sky and the star bright

Feeling it's a brighter day

You and I should ride the coast

And wind up in our favorite coats just miles away

Roll a number, write another song

Like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la

You and I should ride the tracks

And find ourselves just waiting through tomorrow

And you and I when we're coming down

We're only getting back

And you know I feel no sorrow

(He's got the whole, wide world)

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

When you find that things are getting wild

Well, don't you want days like these?

When you find that things are getting wild

Well, don't you want days like these?

When you find that things are getting wild

Well, don't you need days like these?

When you find that things are getting wild

Well, don't you want days like these, like these?

Ohh, la, la

Ohh, la, la

Ohh
