Further Down The Line

Ridin' in the dark

By your silhouette

Reaching for your hand

A dollar in my coat

Something never spoke

Still I pay the man

And when I turn my head

To kiss you on your cheek

I’m right where I have been

Right on time

Further down the line

And do you see the man

Folding up the news

Closing up his eyes

I wanted to be him

Living in a house

Wearing fancy ties

Right on time

Further down the line

I never had a plan

Except to make you mine

Under your command

Never finished school

Only got a job

Away from my old man

But now I wonder if

You're happy on a train

Or only in your dreams

Right on time

Further down the line

Right on time

Further down the line

Right on time

Only in my mind
