about

This songs references the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, or in our case, the other side of the mountains. The first verse is an invitation to leave for the west coast, and the second verse is a retort.

lyrics

The land here is all but used up
Nothing left but wishes, memories and dust
They're squeezing oil from the sand just like blood from a stone
But you're free to stay if you feel you must.
But I encourage you to come out west
To where that train hauled the last of our coal
Where we can lay on the beach until the ice caps melt
And the ocean waters swallow us whole

That train whistle doesn't sound lonesome
It don't sound half as blue as you'd say
She can’t get where she’s going half as fast as she’d like
She is happy to be on her way

I hear every word you are saying
As the horizon lures you away
I won’t be the last cowboy in this one horse town
But I’ve still got a couple reasons to stay
I’ll be on the coast before you know it
Rolling through with a trailer in tow
It’d be real nice to see your bright, shining face
I’ll be sure to leave your name at the door

That train doesn't sound so lonesome
Don't sound half as blue as you'd say
If that train could jump for joy, she’d hop off the tracks
With no regard for the passengers or freight

That train whistle doesn’t sound lonesome
She sings in a major key
I just close my eyes and harmonize
As she’s calling out to me
