He's spent all his life making dreams, but is just now realizing how short life really is. As he's allready well-into his life, he realizes just how much time he's spent dreaming about the man he'd like to be. He's always thought of himself by the things he wants to do, rather than the things he's done.
Excellent interpretation! Personally, my favorite by them! Would also add that he is internally reflecting upon who he is as a person, a parent, and child clarifying his devotion to the ones he loves. And I love how he opens with, "I've never been on the railroad, as many times as they passed me by," while the bands name is Train...humbling in nature, and really hits home! Also, you can hear more Hopchkiss in this one too and I wonder if he contributed most of the weight of the song.
