Lyrics

I stood with my chin up at the carnival rides
Praying “God won't you help me reach the red line height”
Couldn’t buy any tickets
I had a handful of change
So I set some pennies on the tracks and waited on the train
Then that noise off in the distance
From the middle of nowhere
Cut right through our little town
Blew the wind right through my hair
And it kept on getting louder
But it never stayed too long
Always gone with history
Like time goes on and on
That train’s always off in a hurry
And it don’t ever stop for me
Or the ghost of Tower No. 40
One summer I two stepped to Parker McCollum
He played two years in row at the Watermelon Thump
We shotgunned a beer threw the can out of the trunk
And when the engine rolled on by we yelled at the top of our lungs
Then that noise off in the distance
From the middle of nowhere
Cut right through our little town
Blew the wind right through my hair
And it kept on getting louder
But it never stayed too long
Always gone with history
Like time goes on and on
That train’s always off in a hurry
And it don’t ever stop for me
Or the ghost of Tower No. 40
From the Buffalo Bayou
 Just south of Plum Creek
This railway paved the way long before you or me
It ran from the east for the west
Didn’t come back one day when it left
Some beginnings can be an end
Some memories we forget
But that noise off in the distance
From the middle of nowhere
Cut right through our little town
Blew the wind right through my hair
And it kept on getting louder
But it never stayed too long
Always gone with history
Like time goes on and on
That train’s always off in a hurry
And it don’t ever stop for me
Or the ghost of Tower No. 40
Here lies the ghost of Tower No. 40
