runnin' time with the book bag
a lonesome railroad track
There's nothin' in my pockets
and my stomach's just the same
well that's a cryin' shame
Well, I'm ridin' all night
There was nothin' she could do,
And there was nothing big enough
for my voice, small town wind
Yeah, we pull in the station
and I jump from the train
And all those people made me
Girl, things are mighty different
It seems everywhere you look
there's people all around
I remember my daddy in the factory
Giving up his life for the company
There was nothing you could do,
And there was nothing big enough
about those small town ways
Well, I'm running out every day
Just running and I don't look back no more
I keep thinking there's a way
Or something you were fighting for
And I walk right in and I slam the door
But the man at the counter
starts to tremble and shake
Remember my daddy in the factory?
Gave up his life for the company
There's you can do and nothing
And no one's out there making up
about those small town ways
