Prairie Oyster
180426271.gif

Little Billy was born in a praire storm, dust turned the whole town black
Dad left home one month before, and promised he'd be back
He said I can't make a living on a farming dust
There ain't no other job around here
Then he turned and climbed aboard the train
As she fought back a tear.

When the dust had settled on her dreams, months had turned to years
Working fingers to the bone, left no time for tears
Still every time she heard that whistle blow, her mind went racing back
To that train that lef the prairie town, running on a one way track

Well she knew, he was his father's son, so it came as no surprise
When Billy said, I'm heading west to see the ocean beneath the sky
He said I won't be long, Mama don't you cry, but she knew better than that
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track

So with his nose to the window of that hop on train,
Thundering across the prairies like a hurricane
Through the mountains out to the pacific shore
Life would never be the same no more

Now a late at night when the city sleeps
He swears he sometimes hears
The soft wind through the prairie grass, the sweet voice in his ears
But as Billy stumbles through the night, he knows there ain't no turing back
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track

She woke on morning to a knock on her door
It was six months to the day
He said I hate to have to bear the news, Your son has passed away
She was there at the station when the train rolled in, bringing Billy back
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
Running on a one way track
Running on a one way track


Mirror lyrics:

Running on a one way track
Running on a one way track
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
She was there at the station when the train rolled in, bringing Billy back
He said I hate to have to bear the news, Your son has passed away
It was six months to the day
She woke on morning to a knock on her door

Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
But as Billy stumbles through the night, he knows there ain't no turing back
The soft wind through the prairie grass, the sweet voice in his ears
He swears he sometimes hears
Now a late at night when the city sleeps

Life would never be the same no more
Through the mountains out to the pacific shore
Thundering across the prairies like a hurricane
So with his nose to the window of that hop on train,

Every train that leaves a prairie town is running on a one way track
He said I won't be long, Mama don't you cry, but she knew better than that
When Billy said, I'm heading west to see the ocean beneath the sky
Well she knew, he was his father's son, so it came as no surprise

To that train that lef the prairie town, running on a one way track
Still every time she heard that whistle blow, her mind went racing back
Working fingers to the bone, left no time for tears
When the dust had settled on her dreams, months had turned to years

As she fought back a tear.
Then he turned and climbed aboard the train
There ain't no other job around here
He said I can't make a living on a farming dust
Dad left home one month before, and promised he'd be back
Little Billy was born in a praire storm, dust turned the whole town black
