Lyrics
My old man was like bitter salt
He yelled every chance he got
I swore I'd never be like him
He would drink and he would scoff
He'd say death was like a train
It stops at EVERY STATION
CHORUS
Remember to hug the children tighter
Discipline with a tongue that's lighter
Cause kindness means more than any thing
Life is like a crazy carnival ride
Take it all in then step aside
Radiant melodies in heaven'll ring
At EVERY STATION the angels will sing
I was so sad when my daddy died
Cause I know the old man tried
Growing up love was a riddle
I had to use my third eye
Down comes love just like a train
It stops at EVERY STATION
CHORUS
Now I'm growing old, take the clock off the wall
Step into the other side
Can't you hear the sound of that train coming 'round
CHORUS
