This was written on a Boston subway on my way to visit a girl I liked...

HEAVEN’S DOWN THE LINE

by mckavanaugh

 

Please drop me off at the train station
I got a feeling that my number’s there
Heading out for a new destination
Goin after that woman who makes me really care

C’mon Rodney, please don’t say I’m crazy
Most my life I’ve acted half insane
Since I met her my vision’s been hazy
There’s lots of room for her in my brain

Chorus:
Ooh heading down the line
Ooh my Best Friend says I’ll be fine
Ooh that girl’s just gotta be mine
Ooh heaven’s down the line

Dropped my bag and went into the club car
Faces distant - just this side of strange
Understand why guys want to be cowboys
Don’t deal with folks when you’re riding the range

Repeat Chorus

Train starts moving and the people jerk sideways
Funny but she’s done the same thing to me
We’re heading out but my feet they ain’t movin’
Least not as fast as I want them to be

Repeat Chorus
