We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
  Forever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.
  We are sailing away on a river to the sea. Maybe you an me can meet again.
  We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song Sing along.
  
  Time to time I tire of the life that I've been leading
  Town to town, day by day
  There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.
  There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.
  
  We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
  Forever standing by the cross road. Take a side and step along.
