The 8:17 Northbound Success Merry-Go-Round |
I knew the man well |
We used to be good friends a long time ago |
He had a heart and a mind |
He was one of a kind |
The kind of a man a man would be lucky to know |
But then there came a change |
As I recall it all, it all happened fast |
It was as though he had seen the American dream |
And thought that the dream would bring him fulfillment at last |
He put on a suit |
He put on a shirt |
He put on a tie |
He kissed his child |
He kissed his wife |
He kissed his life goodbye |
The last I saw of him |
He walked along the road, and he looked around |
As though he wanted to see one more blossoming tree |
Before he’d be walking on cold city ground |
He got to the station |
He climbed aboard |
The eight-seventeen northbound success merry-go-round |
