Tracks Run Through the City Lyrics

Michael Martin Murphey

From my window shadows of the buildings in the night
Run like a river, broken only by city lights
Running like a thousand whispered lines
Broken only by the ancient railroad ties

[Chorus]
Out where the tracks run through the city
Tracks run through the city
I want to be on that train
That'll take me to a place to hide
Where tracks run through the city
Tracks run through the city
Tracks run through the city
And I'm longin' to ride, please let me ride

You know I want to ride that train
Everybody wants to find a brand new life somewhere
I know it's waiting at the end of the track somewhere out there
The end of the rainbow is not meant for me
Just got to find some new simplicity

[Chorus]

You know I want to ride that train
Let me ride
