Tracks Run Through The City Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Michael Martin Murphey 

From my window shadows of the buildings in the night 

Run like a river, broken only by city lights 

Running like a thousand whispered lines 

Broken only by the ancient railroad ties 

Chorus: 

Out where the tracks run through the city 

Tracks run through the city 

I want to be on that train 

That'll take me to a place to hide 

Where tracks run through the city 

Tracks run through the city 

Tracks run through the city 

And I'm longin' to ride, please let me ride 

You know I want to ride that train 

Everybody wants to find a brand new life somewhere 

I know it's waiting at the end of the track somewhere out there 

The end of the rainbow is not meant for me 

Just got to find some new simplicity 

Chorus 

You know I want to ride that train 

Let me ride
