The drive between the places that I love
Is much shorter than it used to be
The service roads can take me
Where I need to go
The early riser waits at the station
Patiently alone
The people nod, the lot will board the trucks
The engines make the earth to shake
Passing by the lake and
Trees in perfect rows
The hardest worker leans against a rock
He waves hello
Light falls away straight down the hill
Trucks have left out for the day
The land is slowly carved away
The place I can call home
The hardest worker drives away
Happily alone
Chorus
The fun will end, the work has moved to the far north home
Passing stations that we left a long time ago
He tended gardens by the gate for 10 years now
They'll grow and love to shade the place
For the dogs and the cows
