Pete Francis - Stowaway lyrics

Down the road near where my father lived Off to school, jumping on that old freight train I'd see Lou putting pennies on the tracks We rode on, never even looking back Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that track Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that path Uniforms pressed by Mama's hands He was blind, soon to be a man He gave me everything I could need He'd walk from house to house, reading electricity Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that track Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that path I see him standing by the firelight Old car rolls deep into the winter night Shadows fly across my bedroom walls Close my eyes, hear the angels call Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that track Time moves so fast You never knew you could get off of that path
