Richard Clapton
Down The Tracks
Sometimes I don't know which side I'm onLeft or right, or right or wrongI keep enlightened and I read the newsBut they write the news, just to keep you confusedHere in the carnival all that survivesAre the echoes of simple and happier timesYou make a dollar and you make a dimeBut I'm still searching for the simple lifeDown the tracks,You go hanging your head out the windowLooking back,As your train rushes on to tomorrowYour daddy, he's an unhappy manYou live a life he can't understandHe keeps you down for your own protectionBut he's trying to hide his own fear of rejectionDown the tracks,You go hanging your head out the windowLooking back,As your train rushes on to tomorrowEverybody's out there talking that main street jiveOut on the street dancing for their livesAll laughing and singing as they roll down the track They don't notice their past catching up real fast
