Just Another Whistle Stop

To all concerned dead or alive

The locomotive will arrive

Bringin' souls from all around

They'll be bound for higher ground

Look out, stranger, it's comin' through

With plenty of room for me and you

And it's just another whistle stop

If you don't quit till we reach the top

I'd be much obliged to you

Odd man out

You know that's the rule

You can scream and you can shout

But they'll only call you a crazy fool

Pay no mind to what they say

When they're 'bitter they talk that way

I seen a young boy on the run

And I seen other children havin' fun

A police siren flashing light

I wonder who went down tonight

People, people, where do you go

Before you believe in what you know?

It's just another whistle stop

If you don't quit till we reach the top

I'd be much obliged to you

When the trolley is clean out of reach

A certain lesson it will teach

To grind your axe until it's dull

You've got to get it in your skull

Tell the people all across the sea

Don't turn your back because it's free

It's just another whistle stop

If you don't quit till we reach the top

I'd, I'd be much obliged to you

And it's odd man out

You know that's the rule

You can scream and you can shout

But they'll only call you a crazy fool

Pay no mind to what you read

There's one way home that's guaranteed
