Washington Lyrics
I packed a bag at midnight
I couldn't sleep though I tried
I only took what I'd need to survive
I left a note for my friends saying I would miss them
And before they woke, I'd slipped away
Dah-dah-dum
I caught a train for the coast
The passengers were all ghosts
Conductor asked me where I'd like to go
And I said
"I want to meet Jesus Christ, so we can talk about life
And He could tell me things I'd need to know."
I watched the mountains creep by, cutting holes in the sky
Somebody asked me why I'd hitched a ride
And I said
"I want to look through the clouds, to wait for God to come down
Like seven swans, or something I'd recognize.
I could make my life in Washington
Find a boat that sails across the seas and back.
I could climb the tallest mountain there
Build a house and live there by myself."
I couldn't sleep though I tried
I only took what I'd need to survive
And before they woke, I'd slipped away
The passengers were all ghosts
Conductor asked me where I'd like to go
"I want to meet Jesus Christ, so we can talk about life
And He could tell me things I'd need to know."
Somebody asked me why I'd hitched a ride
"I want to look through the clouds, to wait for God to come down
Like seven swans, or something I'd recognize.
I could make my life in Washington
Find a boat that sails across the seas and back.
I could climb the tallest mountain there
Build a house and live there by myself."
