The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well i feels like a free train

Baby, runnin' out of steam,

I wanna go on down to new york town

But i'm stuck in beetwen,

And i could stay out here at home alone

And have myself to think,

Well i just made a billion dollars

And i don't wanna put it in the bank.

So if you'd call (ca-call), we could go to town.

Oh dear mama if you could see me now

Here underneath the lights,

It keep on bum from dusk to dawn

And everything's alright.

I met a girl with autumn in her eyes and summer in the wings,

She makes me feel like i was only born today or yesterday.

And if she call (ca-all), we could go to town.

But everybody here hates everything i say

Hey girl i just don't know if i can last another day

So i guess i'm going back, back where i belong,

I hope you come along before i get back on that train that takes

Me

Straight from new york city to the things i left behind.

No i ain't got no money

Girl, i'll always have the time

But i wish that you would hurry,

I hope you get here soon

Cause i just sold the sky and the sun

So i could buy for you the moon.

And if you call (ca-call), we could go to town.

Oh if you call (ca-call)

Yeah if you call (ca-call)

Girl, if you call (ca-call)

We could go to town.
