Goodbye to Lehigh Lyrics
New York state 1957
To a little boy the closest thing to Heaven
Waiting for the train
He even knows the brakeman's name
Hey dad I think that I can see the engine
Route 81 was built right down the line
Concrete slabs as flat as they were wide
More buses now than trains
No more tracks or switching lanes
The more things change, the less they stay the same
Well it's goodbye to Lehigh
Hello to Greyhound
People used to say she was the fastest thing around
The whistle isn't moanin
The engine can't be found
The Erie Lackawana isn't running through this town
Stand aside and wave the last goodbye
Son I know I said big boys don't cry
I take him by the hand
He knows I understand
As we watch the last few cars go rumblin' by
To a little boy the closest thing to Heaven
Waiting for the train
He even knows the brakeman's name
Hey dad I think that I can see the engine
Concrete slabs as flat as they were wide
More buses now than trains
No more tracks or switching lanes
The more things change, the less they stay the same
Hello to Greyhound
People used to say she was the fastest thing around
The whistle isn't moanin
The engine can't be found
The Erie Lackawana isn't running through this town
Son I know I said big boys don't cry
I take him by the hand
He knows I understand
As we watch the last few cars go rumblin' by
