mark manthei - get on board lyrics

i was eighteen years old and i felt like a man
layin’ tracks through the countryside, i had a plan
and i couldn’t see no future in these northern towns
that’s when i heard the whistle, it was callin’ me down
chorus
it said get on board, this ain’t no train
it’s a living legend, from way back when
and it rolls by that highway in a parallel line
through the rest of these towns, the world left behind

now the pool halls and the junk yards were a place to call home
hangin’ out with the good ol’ boys, no one was alone
and when it came time for leavin’, we did it one by one
that’s when i heard the whistle, it was callin’ me down
chorus
it said get on board, this ain’t no train
it’s a living legend from way back when
and it rolls by that highway in a parallel line
through the rest of these towns, the world left behind

bridge
no i didn’t have to run
cause there was no where to hide
but when the whistle called me down
that’s when i knew it was time
chorus
it said get on board, this ain’t no train
it’s a living legend from way back when
and it rolls by that highway in a parallel line
through the rest of these towns
this little old world left behind
