Just Another Whistle Stop — текст песни (Band, The)

To all concerned dead or alive
The locomotive will arrive
Bringin` souls from all around
They`ll be bound for higher ground
Look out, stranger, it`s comin` through
With plenty of room for me and you
And it`s just another whistle stop
If you don`t quit till we reach the top
I`d be much obliged to you

Odd man out
You know that`s the rule
You can scream and you can shout
But they`ll only call you a crazy fool
Pay no mind to what they say
When they`re bitter they talk that way

I seen a young boy on the run
And I seen other children havin` fun
A police siren flashing light
I wonder who went down tonight
People, people, where do you go
before you believe in what you know?
It`s just another whistle stop
If you don`t quit till we reach the top
I`d be much obliged to you

When the trolley is clean out of reach
A certain lesson it will teach
To grind your axe until it`s dull
You`ve got to get it in your skull
Tell the people all across the sea
Don`t turn your back because it`s free
It`s just another whistle stop
If you don`t quit till we reach the top
I`d, I`d be much obliged to you

And it`s odd man out
You know that`s the rule
You can scream and you can shout
But they`ll only call you a crazy fool
Pay no mind to what you read
There`s one way home that`s guaranteed
