Subway Serenade

Intro

Oh oh

Hey hey hey

Chorus

Stuck here on the subway train

While the steel guitar plays in my brain

Gridlock makes me lose my mind

Searching for the life I left behind

The backroad boy is trapped in town

The city walls keep closing down

Yeah they keep closing down

Verse 1

Sixteen flights up

Living in a matchbox looking out

I watch the yellow cabs crawl

Miss the way the cricket sound rises through the tall pines

Pre-Chorus

Everything is fast

Nothing ever lasts

I just need a piece of home

Chorus

Stuck here on the subway train

While the steel guitar plays in my brain

Gridlock makes me lose my mind

Searching for the life I left behind

The backroad boy is trapped in town

The city walls keep closing down

Yeah they keep closing down

Verse 2

Rushing past the crowds

Stumble through the concrete maze

Hungry for a southern wind

Longing for the harvest moon glowing over copper creek

Pre-Chorus

Everything is loud

Walking through a cloud

I just need to find the phone

Chorus

Stuck here on the subway train

While the steel guitar plays in my brain

Gridlock makes me lose my mind

Searching for the life I left behind

The backroad boy is trapped in town

The city walls keep closing down

Yeah they keep closing down

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Keep closing down

Yeah they keep closing down

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe next week

Maybe for good I'll run

Back where the dirt meets the sky

Way past the limit sign

Chorus

Stuck here on the subway train

While the steel guitar plays in my brain

Gridlock makes me lose my mind

Searching for the life I left behind

The backroad boy is trapped in town

The city walls keep closing down

Yeah they keep closing down
