Southbound 8:03 Jim Ryan 2008
Sometimes in my mind, I go down to the station
Get me a ticket somewhere
That’s alright, I’ll take any destination
Long as it gets me outta here
There’s a crowd on the platform in my imagination
Absorbed in expectation or cares
Seems like no one is settled, one thing certain
Their thoughts are somewhere other than here
Staring down the track, toward the sound in the distance
Through the mist, what a sight to see
Always on time with my salvation
The Southbound 8:03
Get on board, such fascination
Just like I pictured it would be
Everywhere I look, those who came before me
And they saved a window seat for me
Yes we’re rollin’ down the track, we’re the sound in the distance
Through the mist, what a sight to see
We’re right on track for my salvation
On the Southbound 8:03
