The railroad man goes on and on,

On and on goes the railroad man,

From place to place

And on and on

He goes

Without stopping.

And without a home goes the railroad man

The railroad man goes on without a home,

Because his home is every place.

Yes, every place is home to the railroad man.

Can you understand it? Probably not.

Because you’re not like that,

Are you?

But that doesn’t matter.

Because the heart of the railroad man

Is broad like every place.

And in his heart

Is a home.

Will you choose the home that’s in his heart?

And let your heart travel far and wide

Upon the beating heart of the railroad man?

If so, then truly you will travel far.

And you’ll have a home

In every place.

A home in the heart of the railroad man.
