From the recording Timelines & Tragedies
Lyrics
Looking out the window onto Fairbanks Street
A wife on the couch, and children at my feet
I never thought of myself as a father, as a husband
But I am one
Working for the railroad, I am a wild engineer
I've got long hair and I've got a long beard
And I could write songs for you
For you
For you
And I could write For you
For you
In the backyard I have a cherry tree
When I was young you would climb to the top with me
But now we are borderline bankruptcy
And I want to get away in my 1970
Working for the railroad, I am a wild engineer
I've got long hair and I've got a long beard
And I could write songs for you
For you
And I could write for you
