Lyrics
I spent a night on the Hushaby Train
Wanted something that would disengage my brain
Heard a rumour and I hope it pays
Dedicated medication no delays
And the pistons pointing round and round on the outside
Appearing in the distance out of the blue
The waitress shuffles over, leaning forward
Recommend a pear sidecar or two - don't know about you but
CHORUS:
Get away from city frustration
and come as you are to the Lullaby Bar
Delete decision evasion
I'll be going again on the Hushaby Train
So close your eyes on the Hushaby Train
A buried notion betrays your thoughts again
Spread your wings and fill your sails
I hope to Hell this loco don't derail
As an altercation kicks off shy of the station
Window condensation hides the view
And the steam pumps pearly white clouds out of the engine
Rearranges sky to dappled blue I don't know about you but
CHORUS
Locomotion driving burning ground
Bone tired fire stoker homeward bound
And the pistons pounding round and round on the outside
Appearing in the distance out of the blue
The waitress shuffles over, leaning over
Recommends a pear sidecar or two don't know about you but
CHORUS
And the expectation grows and grows on the platform
As the track line shudders resonating through
Blows a breeze through rows of wheat and raw corn
As the sky soaks locomotive residue
And I know and I know
CHORUS
You can leave your city frustration
Come as you are at the Lullaby Bar
Gonna make my reservation
I'll be going again
