Train On a Broken Track
Train On A Broken Track
At one time you created a country
Traveling through land where no one would go
You saw the buffalo massacres
Families moving into the new frontier
Into cities built up along your tracks
But there were men who hunted you
Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and Elmer McCurdy
They became America’s anti-heroes
Men who became legends which still live on
Did you know any of those men
Are they the reason you were left all alone
Dead and resting on rusted and broken tracks
You go ahead and keep your secrets
We will write our own stories
In a few you may be the hero
But, I promise that every story will be good
And you will be remembered
