Jackson Browne
Leaving Winslow
[Verse 1]
I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this railroad
I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this train
All I gotta see is a place for me to grab a hold of
And I'll be on this train and I won't be back again
[Verse 2]
I'm overqualified for any other ride I can think of
I got a PhD in Sun and Wind and Rain
I had a reservation 'bout every occupation
I was ever on the brink of
'Til the day my heart got given to the rhythm of the train
[Chorus]
Station to station, coast to coast
Not that much of anything in mind
No expectations, way less than most
But I wanted to see Winslow one more time
[Verse 3]
I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this railroad
I'm walkin' all around lookin' up and down this town
I'll bid adieu to the precious few I knew here
And I'll be on my way and I won't be back around
[Verse 4]
My mother married an oxygenarian ladies man
He'd take her dancing with a tank of oxygen
Oh, the ladies kept him goin'
He'd recite for them his favorite koan
He specialized in Western Swing and Zen
[Chorus]
Station to station, coast to coast
Not that much of anything in mind
No expectations, way less than most
As long as I got oxygen and wine
[Verse 5]
I keep on hearing 'bout the disappearing ozone layer
I keep on hearing 'bout the disappearing Greenland Shelf
And I keep hearing all about the disappearing middle class
I figure I'll be doing some disappearing myself
