Not Just A Train - Spirit of the West

Not Just A Train - Spirit of the West (西部精神)
I can strum a little I can hold a chord
This ain't the gospel and I ain't the lord
I'm no holy roller but for what it's worth
My freedom's a train ride to heaven on earth
It's not just a train
It's saying goodbye saying hello
To where we have been where we might go
It's what we have passed what we might see
It's not just a train it's freedom to me
Kids flattening pennies as the ironhorse rolls by
Between the trains I see an old man
Face full of smiles
Young woman crying as her lover leaves
Gun on his shoulder and stripes on his sleeve
It's not just a train
It's saying goodbye saying hello
To where we have been where we might go
It's what we have passed what we might see
It's not just a train it's freedom to me
Through a crack in the slats a harvest moon shines
On harper lee's pages I turn to kill time
The car toads are waiting for me at the station
To give the bum's rush to a frost bitten bo
It's not just a train
It's saying goodbye saying hello
To where we have been where we might go
It's what we have passed people we see
It's not just a train it's freedom to me
It's freedom to me
It's freedom to me
Freedom
