Faster Than Steam

Let me make a bet
Back in 1833
You were a racehorse
Faster than steam
You know that I am not as old
And I'll never really listen
But I'll regret it when I go

You left your feet where you plant your garden
Under the smokestack lights
Where you're not stronger than the radio
That keeps me up all night
My superstition, it is alarming
It tells me something isn't right
I missed you and maybe you'll write

Your toy box says it all
With the car that barely whispers
Over Astrocare on your front porch
You know I'm not a fan of the relay
Or the train outside that shivers
Through your window and stay overnight

You left your feet where you plant your garden
Under the smokestack lights
Where you're not stronger than the radio
That keeps me up all night
My superstition, it is alarming
It tells me something isn't right
I missed you and maybe you'll write
