Lyrics

Bought a one way ticket, I can’t turn back
I bet my worries on a railway track
Burning through the city, cutting through the green
Til I’m out of money or we’re both out of steam

See it in the smoke stack feel it in the roll
You hear it in the shuffle and smell it in the coal
And time I get here I wonder why I came
If I’m ever really living or just waiting on a train

Short ride from long gone
Short ride from long gone

I took one for the money, another for the show
And I swear this feelings gonna swallow me whole
Something in that old song haunts me still
And every time I sing it it’s against my will

They say blessed is the traveler but how they come to that
Like they never held a baby or never hung a hat
Every time I get here I wonder what to do
If I pass right by her and she looks right through

Short ride from long gone
Short ride from long gone

Short ride from long gone
Short ride from long gone
Short ride from long gone
Short ride from long gone
