red streamliner rollin'
rollin' down the track the things you see
with your wheels in motion through desert
mountain
ocean
i hear you every night
is it a dream?
red streamliner rollin' down
comin' down on me
red streamliner rollin'
rollin' long so free
your past keeps comin' back on me
to far and near
away from here
where people move a mile a minute
this hurricane livin' with you and me in it
long into the night
that whistle offers light
red streamliner rollin'
i wish you'd tell me 'bout the things you see
i'm lookin'
lookin' down the tracks you ride
knowin' that they're your only guide
i see them every night
is it a dream?
and when the sidewalks roll up at night
just as stations pass by
once the leader of the wild
wild west
hurricane livin' been a lifelong song
now you're cast of steel and cast aside
broken dreams maybe
but you haven't died
