Well I got on in Bristol, by the old Virgina line
With a suitcase full of dreams
And a brand new spendin' dime

I had a full bouquet of music
Wrapped in pretty words
Singin' songs sent down from heaven
On the wings of a speckled bird
Wings of a speckled bird

I heard a guitar and a fiddle
Banjo and mandolin
An old man opened up the door
And told me, "Come on in"

He took my ticket, then he told me
Bring what it is you do
'Cause that's how you'll be remembered
When you're travelin' days are through
When you're travelin' days are through

They came from the hills and mountains
The valleys and the plains
Some were kind and gentle
And some too wild to tame

A string of fearless hearts
On an endless ball of twine
It's the same old train
It's just a different time
Just a different time

We sung songs in war
We sung songs in peace
We traveled in abundance
And we traveled on relief

From the outer gates of heaven
To hellfire's burnin' door
It don't matter where you take it
'Cause it's been there before
It's been there before

They came from the hills and mountains
The valleys and the plains
Some were kind and gentle
And some too wild to tame

A string of fearless hearts
On an endless ball of twine
It's the same old train
It's just a different time
Just a different time

Now like a precious treasure
That's immeasurable in worth
We stand before a new wave
Proud children of the earth

We'll go on forever
And here's your solid proof
As long as there's a world we've gotta sing
Those folks the truth
Sing those folks the truth

They came from the neon cities
The suburbs and the towns
From Bakersfield to Baltimore
It's sacred holy ground

A string of fearless hearts
On an endless ball of twine
It's the same old train
It's just a different time
Just a different time (different time)
Just a different time (a different time)
Just a different time

It's the same old train
It's just a different time
Same old train
Just a different time

I think that took care of it
That was fine
Only time will tell
I suspect it did it
