Driver Eight (live) Full Lyrics
The walls constructed stone by stone
The fields divided one by one
And the train conductor says
Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
You've been on this shift too long
And the train conductor says
Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
You've got to reach our destination
Still a ways away
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
The power lines have sonnets so the airplanes don't get snagged
The bells are ringing through the town again
The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing
And the train conductor says
Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
You've got to reach your destination
Still a ways away
Still a ways away
A way to see the way to here
A way to put myself to sleep
A way to see the way to here
A way to put myself, my children to sleep
It's hard to choose a soul with a plan like that one
And I celebrate, gonna go tell crusade
Southern Crescent locomotive, hey, hear the bells ring again
The fields of wheat is looking thin
And the train conductor says
Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
You've been on this shift too long
And the train conductor says
Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
You've got to reach our destination
Still a ways away
Still a ways away
