New Train

Driving into the sunrise
Thinking over my alibis
It's a long way, we'll be motoring today
Just a kid and an old man
Getting by any way they can
14 hours looking out at the sand
The hills, they change with the wind
A trillion grains move at midnight
Then the fuel light goes on
And our blood starts running hot
Border patrol exits closed
Turn off the air, turn off the radio
Lean forward, drive slow
And beware of the old man's vertigo
How could I ever be so lonely in her arms?
Oh, letters, oh, letters, let me be
Angel in the wilderness told me
€½Keep waitin' 'round
For a transfer to a new train in your heart”
