Take me on a train ride, <br />A train ride anywhere! <br />I'll sit here by the window, <br />I have my ticket, paid the fare. <br /> <br />Don't know where I'm headed, <br />Just hearing sounds of, 'Clicks and Clacks', <br />The smell of coal burning, <br />This steel train upon its' tracks. <br /> <br />Can you hear the whistle blowing? <br />As we cross both town and field. <br />The might and power of the train, <br />As engines' force power to each wheel. <br /> <br />'Choo, Choo! ', I yell from the child within, <br />No one seems to hear my cries. <br />Seeing just of one in love with an era, <br />from another place and time. <br /> <br />Will you ride the rails one day with me? <br />And remember of what was then. <br />Of a slower more God filled time, <br />We could ride it to the end. <br />'All Aboard!
