While
riding on a train goin' west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I
dreamed a dream that made me sad
Concerning myself and the first
few friends I had
With
half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent
many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a
storm
Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn
By
the old wooden stove our hats was hung
Our words was told, our
songs was sung
Where we longed for nothin' and were
satisfied
Jokin' and talkin' about the world outside
With
hungry hearts through the heat and cold
We never much thought we
could get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
And
our chances really was a million to one
As
easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell
wrong from right
And our choices there was few
So the thought
never hit
At the one road we traveled we ever shatter or split
How
many a year has passed and gone?
Many a gamble has been lost and
won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one
I've never seen again
I
wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room
again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all
gladly if our lives could be like that
