Half a cup of coffee
Another cigarette
Standing at the crossroads
Trying to place a bet
Gonna hop this ol’ rusty freight
And ride it down the track
And when the morning comes again
There will be no looking back
Chorus:
There’ll be no looking back again
I’m so tired of it all
No reason to find something that’s lost
No reason to take that call
I will leave this slice of time
And fade into the all
And all
Pick up this old guitar
And sing another tune
If no one wants to listen
I will sing it to the moon
That looks at me through boxcar doors
Pasted to the sky
And if I sing it well enough
I just might make it cry
All of those who came before
They used to ride these rails
Searching from coast to coast
To find their holy grail
Leaving behind a treasure trove
For all of us to sing
Lifted voices to the heights
I hope tomorrow brings
