Rocky Mountain Time |
| The station was empty |
| The trains were all gone |
| I reached in my pocket |
| And I wanted for dawn |
| The clock played drums |
| And I hummed the sax |
| And the wind whistled down |
| The railroad tracks |
| Hey three for a quarter |
| One for a dime |
| Ill bet its tomorrow |
| By rocky mountain time |
| I walked in the restaurant |
| For something to do The waitress yelled at me And so did the food |
| And the water taste funny |
| When youre far from your home |
| But its only the thirsty |
| That hunger to roam |
| (repeat chorus) |
| Well build us a castle on main street |
| And pretend that were down on the farm |
| Hell, well hold out as long as we have to Then well twist off each others arm |
| Christ Im so mixed up and lonely |
| I cant even make friends with my brain |
| Im too young to be where Im going |
| But Im too old to go back again |
| (repeat first verse and chorus) |
