LYRICS
Riding on a Railroad by James Taylor

We are riding on a railroad,
singing some else’s song
Forever standing by the cross road.
Take a side and step along.

We are sailing away on a river to the sea.
Maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad,
singing someone else’s song Sing along.

Time to time I tire of the life that I’ve been leading
Town to town, day by day
There’s a man up here who claims
to have his hands upon the reins.
There are chains upon his hands
and he’s riding upon a train.

We are riding on a railroad,
singing some else’s song
Forever standing by the cross road.
Take a side and step along.

We are sailing away on a river to the sea.
Maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad,
singing someone else’s song.
