lyrics

Hunter Train Bridge

There's a low line of cedar at the 196 marker
And a train-bridge past Hunter in a 2 minute drive
I can still feel the rhythm of the far away engines
Or just my heart beating when you kissed me tonight
My heart beat like a train when you kissed me tonight

The band there at Riley's in the not too far distance
Was playing "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"
You and me walked on the tracks on the trestle
Put our ears to the rails to hear for the train
Your hair fell in your face trying to hear for the train

A half hour later, we'd joked and we'd listened
And we climbed on the rafters to look at the sky
I remember you smiling as we made constellations
That one's a dancer with a star in her eye
Hell, they all look like dancers with the stars in your eyes

There's a quarter moon grinning on north Comal county
Maybe it's some kind of joke in "disguise"
We balanced our way to the band back at Riley's
And left Hunter behind us on a Saturday night
We left the whole world behind us for a Saturday night

The very first kiss or a warm Coca-Cola
It'll make you feel sick and your head spin around
But I wouldn't miss the chance for another
Taste of your warm Co'-Cola mouth
I got me a can in the oven right now

Well, the truckers say love is a home porch-light burning
The painters say love is forbidden hue
The sailors find love at the edge of the morning
But me, I found love on a train-bridge with you
Yeah, me, I found love on a train bridge with you

Past the low line of cedar and the 196 marker
And a wore out motel where the train-jumpers hide
I can still feel the rhythm of the far away engines
Or just my heart beating when you kissed me tonight
My heart beat like a train-wreck when you kissed me tonight
