I used to go down to the railroad
To place a lucky penny on the tracks
And grind it down under the weight of the cargo
With an ear to the metal and the nails
I would listen for the thunder in the rails
And wish that I could jump and hide in the back
And nobody would know there was a fugitive riding
Until we got to a bigger town
But when I had the chance I just stood there waiting
Digging my roots deeper in that ground
Maybe I can make it on the train
If I jump from the tracks
Maybe I can leave behind the devils
That are holding me back
'Cause I've been dragging my feet like cinder blocks
And I'm weary with the weight
So watch me
I'm gonna make it on a leap of faith
There are places where the good seed grows
But the thicket can choke you slow
And you are stuck wherever that wind may blow
And you'll wish you were a refugee
When they string you up on the family tree
And those splinters cut and dig in deep
You can revel in your finest moments
But you're still sitting on fences
They say you'll never fall if you have never moved
And you'll never fail if you'll never know
