Artist/Band: Lyle Lovett
Lyrics for Song: Texas Trilogy: Train Ride
Lyrics for Album: Step Inside This House [1998]



(S. Fromholz)



Well, the last time I remember

that train stopping at the depot,

Was when me and my Aunt Veta

came riding back from Waco,

I remember I was wearing

my long pants and we was sharing

conversation with a man

who sold ball-point pens and paper.



And the train stopped in Clifton,

Where my aunt bought me some ice cream,

And my Mom was there to meet us,

When the train pulled into Kopperl.



But now kids at night break window lights,

And the sound of trains only remains,

In the memory of the ones like me,

Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks

in the walls that stand on the railroad land,

Where we used to play and then run away

from the depot man.



I remember me and brother

used to run down to the depot,

Just to listen to the whistle

when the train pulled into Kopperl;

And the engine big and shiny,

black as coal that fed the fire,

And the engineer would smile and say,

"Howdy, how ya fellows?"



And the people by the windows,

Playing cards and reading papers,

Looked as far away to us

As next summer's school vacation...
