Rick Rack Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

Rick rack, rickety rack 

See the train go along the track 

When I grow up I want to be an engine driver 

But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. 

My father says that I must always work on the land 

And I never disagreed when I'd see him lift his hand 

Mother thinks that I should be a carpenter to trade 

That I could fill my house with the things that I had made. 

Rick rack, rickety rack 

See the train go along the track 

When I grow up I want to be an engine driver 

But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.

I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryin' 

Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so I'll keep on tryin'. 

Rick rack, rickety rack 

See the train go along the track 

When I grow up I want to be an engine driver 

But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. 

My brother says that I must pay attention at the school 

Because I've never won a prize, he thinks that I'm a fool 

Teacher always asks me why I look so far away 

It's just that I find nothing in the words he has to say.

Rick rack, rickety rack 

I'm leaving home and I'm never coming back 

I'm on my way to be an engine driver 

But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.
