Rocky Mountain Time Lyrics - Diamonds In The Rough - John Prine

Station was empty 

Trains were all gone 

I reached in my pocket 

Waited for dawn 

The clock played drums 

And I hummed the sax 

And the wind whistled down 

The railroad tracks 

Hey three for a quarter 

One for a dime 

I'll bet it's tomorrow 

By Rocky Mountain Time 

I walked in the restaurant 

For something to do 

The waitress yelled at me 

So did the food

And the water taste funny 

When you're far from your home 

But it's only the thirsty 

That hunger to roam 

And the clock played drums 

And I hummed the sax 

And the wind whistled down 

The railroad tracks 

Hey three for a quarter 

One for a dime 

I'll bet it's tomorrow 

By Rocky Mountain Time 

We'll build us a castle on Main Street 

And pretend that we're down on the farm 

Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to 

Then we'll twist off each other's arm 

Photos 

Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely 

I can't even make friends with my brain 

Yeah, I'm too young to be where I'm goin' 

But I'm too old to go back again 

Station was empty 

Trains were all gone 

I reached in my pocket 

Waited for dawn 

The clock played drums 

And I hummed the sax 

And the wind whistled down 

The railroad tracks 

Hey three for a quarter 

One for a dime 

I'll bet it's tomorrow
