One of These Days

the gates are down
wonder where she's going
cars rollin down the rail
that familiar whistle blowing

so many times
I've watched her go by
waiting for an invitation
while I sit and cry

one of these days
while these gates are down
gonna take some memories
hitch a ride 
get out of this old town
