Marshall Brooks - Can't Make it Home Again

Oh, don't you know I live
A stone's throw over
From the Ferndale railroad tracks
Back in my day my pappy would take me over
To pick up taconite
I remember that

Times are changing
The old whistle blows
But it ain't the same train
And try as I might
I just can't make it home again

Out of school, into debt
A dimwit in a dead-end job
Just going nowhere
I look out the window
Across the way
Wonder is the grass any greener over there
It ain't

Times are changing
My same back hurts
But it ain't the same pain
And try as I might
I just can't make it home again

Oh you know I've been wronged
You know I've been had
A criminal smashed my wheels
Runnoft and got away with that

And where is Uncle Sam
Tell me, where is he at
He ain't by my side
No, he's standing behind
With a knife in my back

Times are changing
The old wind blows
But it ain't the same change
And try as I might
I just can't make it home again
