1978 Songtext
von Nick Hexum

1978

Climb aboard, we′re leavin'
Trip down memory lane
Train has left the station
Only goes one way

Cartoons in our PJs
Slinky on the stairs
Shootin′ hoops in the driveway
Wearin' out our Keds

We'll unwind time today
We′re goin′ back to the old heartland
Union Pacific train
Two tickets, we're homeward bound now

Magic Eight Ball readin′
Leafin' through the seasons, yeah


Where have all those gold days gone?
Like maple seeds circlin′ down
There's no turning back this train
Still memories keep comin′ round

Lunch box on a school day
Walkin' rain or shine
Dodge ball on the black top
Off to Gilligan's Isle

Twelve kids in a kickball game
Making forts out of junk we find
Big sister makes sure I′m ok
Porch bell rings. Run home for dinnertime

Lava floor, we′re leapin'
Leafin′ through the seasons, yeah

Where have all those gold days gone?
Like maple seeds circlin' down
There′s no turning back this train
These memories keep comin' round
