Lordy Boxcar

Lyrics

[Verse] Melody was twenty-one She made it to the stage She could have been just anyone That's a magic age Relationships, relationships Take where you are You could get a golden thread - or you could fall apart Well when Melody lost heart she said... [Chorus] I want to ride the Lordy Boxcar baby I want a way to get to heaven, deity I want to work to make the maker save me I want to ride the Lordy Boxcar baby! [Verse] Melody turned thirty-three Stuck inside a shell She never even noticed me I guess it's just as well I tried to do what people do I gave her all my cards She wouldn't let me see it through Tethered to her guard - she just lit her lucky stars and blew [Chorus] [Verse] Melody I wish you well On your lonely course All your friends are going to hell No need to show remorse In the end it's all the same We all write the same lines You can put yourself in chains Or ride upon the vines Because we make up our minds
