i chose a life of missed callings and lost hopes of empty trains and railway dreams losing fast and gaining steam i was born tonight down highway skies when miles race under my head i ll remember what you said and i ll stay out till it s done for me and my legacy will be one that keeps pushing me away so it s back to engines underfoot and miles of great disdain they never understand the way i walk and it s you that knows it s the way i talk that keeps me from knowing when i should see the things you re showing me and it s you i want to do this to and it s looks like that that ll make me stay with you keep your cool i ll be home soon and know that it s you hey scottie come on
