I come from the land of the big trains,
and they ran through every town,
but the tracks are all grown over,
and the stations have been shut down
and they roll through now and again
and the whistles call out to me still
I think I'll ride this one out to the rockies
just because I've got some time to kill
when will I find my peace?
where will I find my country?
lord, please send your relief
as I drift like some falling leaf
and everywhere it's the same
chasin' the tent city lights
hounded by poverty's dreams
you can't breathe when your belt is this tight
when will I find my peace?
where will I find my country?
lord, please send your relief
as I drift like some falling leaf
and it ain't right that all of this misery
seeps through the sap in her trees
it falls and it laps on the shoreline
but what does it mean to be free?
when will I find my peace?
where will I find my country?
lord, please send your relief
as I drift
as we drift
like some falling leaf
