#folkrock Getting the bigger perspective.

You won’t be free here Till you know how you got here And of course you got here On the train You might have been in Spain You might have gone insane But of course you got here Just the same

Because a coal train’s got to roll And everybody knows Where it goes If you hear it rumble Stand by And let it pass A coal train’s got to roll It won’t stop Just because your soul Flies by On the other side Of the glass

Don’t mistake the station For the destination Get out of the station house and run For at least a mile Though you arrived here It doesn’t mean you’ll survive here But you’ll find a way After a while

Because a coal train’s got to roll And everybody knows Where it goes If you hear it rumble Stand by And let it pass A coal train’s got to roll It won’t stop Just because your soul Flies by On the other side Of the glass

You came in on the waves of Industrialization And I hope you found a corner where You can hide But now you’ve got to see through all the lies And I know it’s hard and I know you’ve tried But I want to see you when you come out On the other side

Because a coal train’s got to roll And everybody knows Where it goes If you hear it rumble Stand by And let it pass A coal train’s got to roll It won’t stop Just because your soul Flies by On the other side Of the glass
