The Thing Of It Is - Trestle To Nowhere

I'm taking the streetcar down
On the trestle to nowhere
That'll take me to somewhere
That they say you can't go

I'm taking a ride
Going back into sometime
Where they say there was sunshine
With a buttery glow

And though it might sound funny
They built it in 1920
But they never laid down the track leading back to the hill
And the bridge amid trees so shady
They tore down in 1980
For 60 years they never used it
And they never will

I'm taking the streetcar down
On the trestle to nowhere
That'll take me to somewhere
That they say you can't go

Now for the last time
I'm heading back in the woodland
Cause I hear it's a good land
Where things are real slow

Last call all aboard
Last call all aboard
Last call all aboard on the trestle to nowhere
