Stowaway Lyrics

Down the road near where my father lived
Off to school, jumping on that old freight train
I'd see Lou putting pennies on the tracks
We rode on, never even looking back
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that track
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that path

Uniforms pressed by Mama's hands
He was blind, soon to be a man
He gave me everything I could need
He'd walk from house to house, reading electricity
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that track
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that path

I see him standing by the firelight
Old car rolls deep into the winter night
Shadows fly across my bedroom walls
Close my eyes, hear the angels call
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that track
Time moves so fast
You never knew you could get off of that path
