Just boxcar flower used to follow your daddy
another fader-in from Cincinnati
You were always watching, watching the train roll by
Yeah, you know I love you, everything you carry
Another redeye, Mobile to Albany,
You were always watching, watching the train roll by.
So,tell me what's going on with Graniteville
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
It's a quiet little city, you grew up together
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night,
Finds us here, well there's nowhere to hide
If we ever wake up in Graniteville,
Oh,you know how much I love you and I always will
Trying so hard just to get away
some people want to die in a quiet place
where everybody's always watching, watching the trains roll by
Yeah,you have a place to go when it's never enough
Little hard to pay the toll,train's in a rush
our town,it's always leaving,
waving the girl goodbye,goodbye
Yeah,but every town is small when it comes to you
Just like everyone's asleep when it's passing through
All night I heard the screamg of a million tongues
So wake up, pretty baby, turn the light on
Tonight there's something's different, something's gone wrong
We've been sleeping too long,so long
So,tell me,what's going on in Graniteville
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
It's a quiet little city, you grew up together
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night
Finds us here,well there's nowhere to hide
If we ever wake up in Graniteville
Oh,you know how much I love you and I always will
Wake up baby, there's a train a comin'
Don't you leave me or forsake me
Wake up baby there's a train a'comin'
Don't you know how much I love you?
Wake up,baby,and hear the screeching
there's a whole town drifting off to dreamin'
Wake up,baby,there's a train a'comin'
Winter's leaving,Spring has sprung in
Wake up, baby ,hear the screaming
Whole town dies while it's still sleeping
Wake up baby, there's a train a'comin'
Don't forget,you know I love you.
