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
