[Verse 1]
It's a holiday, a modern day
A day to change your life
Make it new and bright
Business bound by people all around
Bring him down like the rain
Tie him down, ball and chain
[Chorus]
Hogtie him on the railroad line
Waste case that's out of place, yeah
Hear the church bell chime in the middle of your mind
It's a broken toy that he's cherished all his life
And built this shrine with the help of Father Time
[Verse 2]
It's a windin' road, a heavy load
A home away from home
A place to roam
It's a fractured rain of consequences, host another life
It's a different point of view
When the old man points and shows him what to do
[Chorus]
Hogtie him on the railroad line
Waste case that's out of place, yeah
Hear the church bell chime in the middle of your mind
It's a broken toy that he's cherished all his life
And built this shrine with the help of Father Time
With the help of Father Time
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Hogtie him on the railroad line
Waste case that's out of place, yeah
Hear the church bell chime in the middle of your mind
It's a broken toy that he's cherished all his life
And built this shrine with the help of Father Time
With the help of Father Time
With the help of Father Time
