I Retired
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.
I retired from my fight
I retired from my war
No one knows what I was fighting for
I don't even know myself anymore
All the water in the ground
Someday'll dry up and die out
All the fire in your heart won't help!
All the smoke up in your head
There will
All the fire in your heart won't help
All the smoke up in your head
There will
As long as I can keep the train rolling
All my friends will always know
They'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the engine humming
All my friends will always know
They'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the engine humming
Then all my friends will always know
They'll never be alone
As long as I can keep the train rolling
Then all my friends will always know
They'll never be alone
