Up Around The Bend

Up Around The Bend
@Rick Lang


I remember those nights lying in bed back as a young boy of nine
Waiting to hear the sound of that special running down that B&M line
…we knew that she’d be right on time
On long summer days we’d walk down those tracks sometimes for miles on end
Counting the crossties under our feet and closing our eyes to pretend
…what lies up around the bend

*CHORUS
Lord let me hear that train whistle blowin’… carry me back once again
To those carefree days and my childhood ways,
When we’d close our eyes….and wonder what lies… up around the bend

Looking back…. I wish I had one silver nickel for every mistake I have made
The bridges I’ve burned, lessons I learned, and love lost along the way
…Lord I’d be a rich man today
But the past is almost clear out of sight, and the future lies straight ahead
I’ll still follow that long steel rail where it leads
And keep wondering now and again…what lies up around the bend
