Pennsylvania Sunrise Songtext

von David Mallett

Pennsylvania sunrise... ten degrees at best.
Peerin' from the window of a club car heading west.
After mornin' glory... money for the miles.
Someone said I'll do this for a while.

Across a waking countryside... two days with no sleep.
[Bridge: s, towns and tunnels crossing rivers wide and deep.]
Workers risin', big bird flyin', children off to school,
Pickup trucks and geniuses and fools.

Brakemen at the depot... bundled to the cold.
Monday morning paper and the sky is burnin' gold.
Goodbye kisses painted miss is curled up in the back.
Runnin' from a memory on a thousand miles of track.

The folks in old Virginia, they took me to their hearts.
And it's a ways to where I'm going, but it's a long time from the start.
And this train it's a gentle giant with an engine and an eye.
And I'm a wounded bird returning to the sky.

Pennsylvania sunrise... ten degrees at best.
Peerin' from the window of a club car heading west.
After mornin' glory... money for the miles.
Someone said I'll do this for a while.
