One day after twenty five years
Head of service at the local Sears
Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away
And all they found was a little note
adios was all she wrote
But as she left someone heard her say
Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line
Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside
Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin
I'll be satisfied, gonna ride, ride, ride.
Saturday night I was down at Joe's
He was moppin' up getting ready to close
He sat down and poured me one last brew
And he said to me with a sideways glance
If I ever get the chance
I'm gonna sell this joint and this is what I'll do
I suppose I could stay
In this little town till my dying day
But in my heart I know I gotta go
So I'm standing at the station waitin' for the train
Don't know when I'll be back again
Mr. Engineer won't you let your whistle blow
