Boxcars

Streets are empty
There's no one around
They're all asleep in this
Sleepy old town
Streetlights they shine down
On nothing at all
My shift is done, I'm heading out
Gonna make last call

Chorus: Every dream is a boxcar
I've got a freight train
Every wish is an open road
And I'll drive forever
Every thought I have of you
Should bring you closer
Til you're here with me

The job is just a job
This bar just a bar
But I caught a pass ten years ago
So here I'm a star
But this star’s been dimming now these nine years and more
Since the only thing I wanted
walked out the door

Chorus

I had to stay, I guess I had to stay
You were already on your way

When you left you said
I'm not looking back
There ain’t much to see
And I know you saw that
Alone in this sad bar
At a quarter to two
With a movie playing in my head
That stars me and you

Chorus
