Station Man |
| Down around the reservation |
| Up around the bend |
| Lies a lazy little ghost town |
| In a god forsaken land |
| Set up on the platform |
| Wringing his hands |
| Humming a crazy old number |
| Its the station man |
| He sings about sweet Virginia |
| Sweetest in the land |
| Said she’d come on back for me |
| Just soon as she can |
| And the rusty track laughs a cold phrase in the sun |
| You see the last train left here 1971 |
| I can still hear the children on the fourth of July |
| Down at the general store there was a gas pump |
| And the church bells that ring on Sunday |
| Then he turns his head on easterly |
| Raises his hand |
| Pointing his shaky finger |
| As he tries to take a stand |
| U.S. highway number one hundred twenty three |
| Laid concrete and steel where my house used to be |
| I can still hear those children |
| Singing in the schoolyard |
| Lemonade on the back porch |
| As the sun went down |
| Rocking chair and my memories |
| Sold them for chump change |
| Sold them off to folks like you coming around |
