Leaving Winslow

[Verse 1]

I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this railroad

I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this train

All I gotta see is a place for me to grab a hold of

And I'll be on this train and I won't be back again

[Verse 2]

I'm overqualified for any other ride I can think of

I got a PhD in Sun and Wind and Rain

I had a reservation 'bout every occupation

I was ever on the brink of

'Til the day my heart got given to the rhythm of the train

[Chorus]

Station to station, coast to coast

Not that much of anything in mind

No expectations, way less than most

But I wanted to see Winslow one more time

[Verse 3]

I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this railroad

I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this town

I'll bid adieu to the precious few I knew here

And I'll be on my way and I won't be back around

[Verse 4]

My mother married an oxygenarian ladies man

He'd take her dancing with a tank of oxygen

Oh, the ladies kept him goin'

He'd recite for them his favorite koan

He specialized in Western Swing and Zen

[Chorus]

Station to station, coast to coast

Not that much of anything in mind

No expectations, way less than most

As long as I got oxygen and wine

[Verse 5]

I keep on hearing 'bout the disappearing ozone layer

I keep on hearing 'bout the disappearing Greenland Shelf

And I keep hearing all about the disappearing middle class

I figure I'll be doing some disappearing myself
