Some years ago when I flew the nest I packed up my bindle and moved way out west Found a ride from a trucker man he was headed out to the bay And moved into a shack under the freeway And there were rats in the alley and smog in the sky Every afternoon I'd hear the elote man go by And at night I'd hear those railroad cars and say Someday they're gonna carry me away
Pulled out a map today said I guess I should See what's become of my old neighborhood And if that house is still around today And if that trucker man's still on his way And I wonder, have they replaced the taquerías and tienditas With breweries and luxury casitas And if those railroad cars are still rolling today And carrying runaways
They say god works in mysterious ways And may his will be done on earth So all this destruction's for the greater good They're gonna bulldoze my old neighborhood And I wonder how will the runaways fly If they can't hear the railway cars go by But if that highway overpass is here to stay Will it still carry me awayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
