"Rock Island Line" lyrics

"Rock Island Line"

We're on our way, southeast and making time
We're on a ghost train down an old Rock Island Line
None of us on board can seem to remember why
I'm at peace, at least, chasing the sun across the sky

When you find that line, the sky falls, and the heavens open wide
Every rank and file is counted
But you wasted time with all that is entangled in your mind
So, you spent a life just doubting

And where we go, I guess we'll see when we arrive
So many empty seats, and empty little lives
And did you miss this train? Because it always runs on time
Did you see it leave as you were making up your mind?

When you find that line, the sky falls, and the heavens open wide
Every rank and file is counted
But you wasted time with all that is entangled in your mind
So, you spent a life just doubting

And we ride at different times
Blessed all who've gone before
Not a one is left behind
If you come running
When you hear the 'All aboard'

When you find that line, the sky falls, and the heavens open wide
Every rank and file is counted
But you wasted time with all that is entangled in your mind
So, you spent a life just doubting

So, you spent a life just doubting
Did you spent your life just doubting?
