Railroad Tracks from Every Ghost by Holden and the Dangers

There is a railroad coupling
Near my old battered farmhouse
At night you hear that loss ring
Rings from sky to burrowed mouse

Railroad tracks lead north and west
Which way to go which way seems best
Wherever I go wherever I’ve been
I will not escape the big book’s sins
I Can’t escape these earthly sins

The railroad creeks and screams out in the night
People coming and going I don’t know where
I have known a man who lost his sight
When I was six that train horn blared
My father boarded and never came back
Boarded his new life road those railroad tracks

So I keep searching going to make my way out
Down at the depot I hear the porter shout
Going to buy a ticket cross these red fire prairies
Head north to Manitoba or the emerald coast
Like a coal miner and his canary
I know my seeds are sown my seeds are sown

Railroad tracks lead north and west
Which way to go which way seems best
Wherever I go wherever I’ve been
I will not escape the big book’s sins
I Can’t escape these earthly sins
I Can’t escape these earthly sins
