Graniteville - Doug Burr

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
