Week 51 - Favorite One (201211)

from Song A Week, Volume 5 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

If I had to choose
Which I love the most
Out of all the trains that run

I would choose the train
That heads out west to you
Speedin' to the setting sun

And if I had to ride
Just one set of tracks
Until the day they lay me down

I would ride the ones
Which take my body back
To the only one I ever found

The one who picked me up
The one who sat me down
The one who taught me how it's done

Yes I'd ride the rails
Which bring me back around
Back into the arms of my favorite one

If I had a ticket
One way out of town
When the day had disappeared

I would leave tonight
Runnin' with the sound
Coal and iron racin' outta' here
