Watching the Train Go By (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)
I’ve been living 50 years in this town
Every day and night
Working the farm til the harvest is down
Watching that train go by
Meals for my wife and kids is that all I ask
Working that family life
Sweating all day to the labor’s task
Watching that train go by
Watching the train go by, morning, noon, & night
Working the land til my blood runs dry
Watching the train go by
Working the fields like my daddy did
Learned his lessons right
Blisters on my hands til the sun goes down
Watching the train go by
Watching the train go by, morning, noon, & night
Working the land til my blood runs dry
Watching the train go by
Watching the train go by, morning, noon, & night
Working the land til my blood runs dry
Watching the train go by
Working the fields like my daddy did
I Learned his lessons right
Blisters on my hands til the sun goes down
Watching the train go by
I’ve been living 50 years in this town
Every day and night
Working the farm til the harvest is down
Watching that train go by
