Railroad Days Lyrics - Bob Seger

Jan would climb up so high on the foul screen 

Down below I would yell to watch out 

When we'd play? was always the winner 

He was brave never listened to me shout 

Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall 

Hidin' out and of course be the star 

Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks 

And today I think I still know where they are 

Oh, Railroad days 

Railroad days 

Railroad days 

When I was young, in my prime 

On my way 

When the rain never got in my way 

oh in my younger railroad days

Some nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi 

Talkin' 'bout girls, or preposterous lies 

Laughin hard, watchin' Soupy at eleven 

Skonkin' down, one of Mom's lemon pies 

Ten o'clock, bringin' groceries from the market 

Singin songs, to the darkness of the night 

Even sang the parts the instruments were playing 

Life was freer, dreams were really quite all right 

Oh, Railroad days 

Railroad days 

Railroad days 

When the sun seemed to smile on it's way 

When the darkness was easier to play yeah 

oh in my younger railroad days 

Yesterday, I heard they shut the trains down 

The ones than ran, by the field where I would play 

Said the folks want new and faster transportation 

It's just like me, I'll be obsolete one day

Oh, Railroad days 

Railroad days 

Railroad days 

When I was young, in my prime 

On my way 

When the rain never got in my way 

oh in my younger railroad days
