Red Streamliner

Music by bill payne
lyrics by bill payne and fran tate
Red streamliner rollin'
rollin' down the track the things you see
with your wheels in motion through desert, mountain, ocean
i hear you every night, is it a dream?

red streamliner rollin' down, comin' down on me
red streamliner rollin', rollin' long so free
your past keeps comin' back on me
to far and near, away from here

where people move a mile a minute
this hurricane livin' with you and me in it
long into the night, that whistle offers light

red streamliner rollin'
i wish you'd tell me 'bout the things you see
i'm lookin', lookin' down the tracks you ride
knowin' that they're your only guide
i see them every night, is it a dream?
and when the sidewalks roll up at night
just as stations pass by

once the leader of the wild, wild west
hurricane livin' been a lifelong song
now you're cast of steel and cast aside
broken dreams maybe, but you haven't died
