Coming or Going --- by Tamicus

[Verse 1] I hear the train whistle in the night Is it coming or going Or does it matter Fog on the tracks One porch light Wind in the wires Old bones scatter [Chorus] Is it coming or going Or does it matter Just another lonely sound on rusted tracks I long for simpler times When hearts healed faster But maybe that road ain't ever coming back I long for simpler times But is that the story they sold us No more pennies or coffee in cans And rust on everything holy If it’s all headed downhill Or climbing some faraway hilltop I’ll just keep on I’ll just keep on [Verse 2] Boots by the door Coat on a chair Letters in a box So faded from my tears Is it leaving or staying Who’s keeping score Same old whistle Same back door [Chorus] Is it coming or going Or does it matter Just another lonely sound on rusted tracks I long for simpler times When hearts healed faster But maybe that road ain't ever coming back I long for simpler times But is that the story they sold us No more pennies or coffee in cans And rust on everything holy If it’s all headed downhill Or climbing some faraway hilltop I’ll just keep on I’ll just keep on (Bridge) They said work hard Son And you’ll be fine White picket dreams in a straight clean line I bought the house Lost the sleep Promises cheap Payments deep (verse 3) Is that the story they sold us Stitched in chatter On old front porches and in Sunday clothes When all the little things matter And only the children grow older [Chorus] Is it coming or going Or does it matter Just another lonely sound on rusted tracks I long for simpler times When hearts healed faster But maybe that road ain't ever coming back I long for simpler times But is that the story they sold us No more pennies or coffee in cans And rust on everything holy If it’s all headed downhill Or climbing some faraway hilltop (outro) I hear the train whistle in the night Is it coming or going Or does it even matter Fog on the tracks One porch light Wind in the wires And my old bones scatter
