Rolling Down the Line

We are all on a journey The rails of our lives And each person is a passenger that aids and abides And each car is a memory that lends in the ride And the train keeps rolling down the line Every car holds one person of our former being With their pockets pulled out empty And teardrops on their sleeve But each car holds a window to bring them the light And the train keeps on rolling down the line I keep rockin' and I'm holding all the people that I meet When it's dark in the carriage Sing them softly to sleep When they wake up in the morning back to coffee and tea While the train keeps rolling down the line People come and they go As for me I don't mind With the seasons come new changes Stay as long as you'd like But we've all got our ticket with a date and a time And the train keeps rolling down the line We are all on a journey The rails of our lives And each person is a passenger that aids and abides And each car is a new memory that's what makes it a ride And the train keeps rolling down the line And the train keeps rolling down the line
