Rocky Mountain Time

[Verse 1]

The station was empty, the trains were all gone

I reached in my pocket and I waited for dawn

[Refrain]

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

I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time

[Verse 2]

I walked in the restaurant for something to do

The waitress yelled at me and so did the food

And the water tastes funny when you're far from your home

But it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam

[Refrain]

And 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

I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time

[Bridge]

We'll build us a castle on Main Street

And pretend that we're down on the farm

Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to

Then we'll twist off each other's arm

Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely

I can't even make friends with my brain

And I'm too young to be where I'm going

But I'm too old to go back again

[Verse 1]

The station was empty, the trains were all gone

I reached in my pocket, I waited for dawn

[Refrain]

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

I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time

[Outro]

By Rocky Mountain time

By Rocky Mountain time

By Rocky Mountain time

By Rocky Mountain time
