Station Man (LP Version)

[ti:Station Man (LP Version)] [ar:Martin Sexton] [al:The American] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] Station Man - Martin Sexton Down around the reservation Up around the bend Lies a lazy little ghost town In a god forsaken land Set up on the platform Wringing his hands Humming a crazy old number Its the station man He sings about sweet Virginia Sweetest in the land Said she'd come on back for me Just soon as she can And the rusty track laughs A cold phrase in the sun You see the last train left here 1971 I can still hear the children On the fourth of July Down at the general store There was a gas pump And the church bells that ring on Sunday Then he turns his head on easterly Raises his hand Pointing his shaky finger As he tries to take a stand U S highway number One hundred twenty three Laid concrete and steel Where my house used to be I can still hear those children Singing in the schoolyard Lemonade on the back porch As the sun went down Rocking chair and my memories Sold them for chump change Sold them off to folks like you coming around
