Rocky Mountain Time

Station was empty Trains were all gone I reached in my pocket Waited for dawn The clock played drums And I hummed the sax And the wind whistled down The railroad tracks Hey three for a quarter One for a dime I'll bet it's tomorrow By Rocky Mountain Time I walked in the restaurant For something to do The waitress yelled at me So did the food And the water taste funny When you're far from your home But it's only the thirsty That hunger to roam And the clock played drums And I hummed the sax And the wind whistled down The railroad tracks Hey three for a quarter One for a dime I'll bet it's tomorrow By Rocky Mountain Time We'll build us a castle on Main Street And pretend that we're down on the farm Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to Then we'll twist off each other's arm Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely I can't even make friends with my brain Yeah, I'm too young to be where I'm goin' But I'm too old to go back again Station was empty Trains were all gone I reached in my pocket Waited for dawn The clock played drums And I hummed the sax And the wind whistled down The railroad tracks Hey three for a quarter One for a dime I'll bet it's tomorrow By Rocky Mountain Time By Rocky Mountain Time By Rocky Mountain Time By Rocky Mountain Time
