Texas Trilogy: Train Ride Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

Well, the last time I remember 

That train stopping at the depot 

Was when me and my Aunt Veta 

Came riding back from Waco 

I remember I was wearing 

My long pants and we was sharing 

Conversation with a man 

Who sold ball-point pens and paper 

And the train stopped once in Clifton 

Where my Aunt bought me some ice cream 

And my Mom was there to meet us 

When the train pulled into Kopperl

But now kids at night break window lights 

And the sound of trains only remains 

In the memory of the ones like me 

Who have turned their backs on the splintered cracks 

In the walls that stand on the railroad land 

Where we used to play and then run away 

From the depot man 

I remember me and brother 

Used to run down to the depot 

Just to listen to the whistle 

When the train pulled into Kopperl 

And the engine big and shiny 

Black as coal that fed the fire 

And the engineer would smile and say, 

"Howdy, how ya fellows?"
