Right Track Wrong Train

Mama said son
Are you ever gonna stop your running
That sweet Julie Baker'd be a good homemaker
And she's always had eyes for you
I said mama I know she's a good girl
But our dreams are not the same
Right track, wrong train

I've plowed these fields in the hot sun on a tractor
Been covered in grease from my head to my feet
Turning wrenches and pumping gas
I can't seem to find my direction
This town's like a ball and chain
Right track, wrong train

I can hear that lonesome whistle blow
Somewhere in the night
I've got to ride that big iron horse
Pass the city limits sign
I've gone as far as I can go
There's no one to blame
Right track, wrong train

When you're torn between a home and a dream
Decisions are hard to make
When you can't be what everyone wants you to be
There's chances that you've got to take

I can hear that lonesome whistle blow
Somewhere in the night
I've got to ride that big iron horse
Pass the city limits sign
I've gone as far as I can go
There's no one to blame
Right track, wrong train

Right track, wrong train
Mama said son
Are you ever gonna stop your running
