歌词
When I was a boy
当我还是个男孩时
in the days of the train
在有火车驶过的日子里
I'd sit by the tracks
我常坐在铁轨边
on a long summer day

And I'd wave to the brakeman

And he'd wave back at me
他也常常向我挥手回应
While the thunderclouds rolled
那时雷雨云滚滚
out of East Tennessee
飘过东田纳西
But the dreams of a boy
但是男孩的梦想啊
disappear when you're grown
在你长大后就会逝去
And though I may dream
尽管我的梦可能还没有逝去
the railroads are gone
铁路却已消失了
The ties they are rotten
枕木它们腐烂了
and the tracks shot to hell
铁轨它们被炸飞
Along with my dreams
一同消失的，还有我的梦想
and the old railroad bell

Workin' diners and farms along the way

hide across the border

With a black eyed girl

beside me all the way

and the railroads are gone

And the coal towns no longer

hear the miners at dawn
