lyrics

Watched you from the window
Of the home you knew so well
Tomorrow tells you nothing
From what I can tell

Trail from south the north
East and west the same
Seen in both directions
Obscurity or fame

If you reach for the top, you’ll reach the middle
If you reach for the middle, you’ll reach the bottom
If you reach for the bottom, so sad I’ve been
So sad I’ve been

Taught the ones who raised me
Climbed on my mistakes
I saw you beat the system
You cheat the game

A spike to build the railroad
That’s who I became
Less the pain of change
Then the pain of staying the same
