Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > Contenders
Can't Pull This Train
There's a train in the station
It's got common sense and reason
But it's got no chance of leavin if it doesn't have a crew
The conductor looks so helpless
I've got hungry
I've got homeless
I've got passengers
Who don't know what to do
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I need an engineer
I need a brakeman
Someone to grease the drivers
A section gang to keep those tracks runnin straight and true
I need cooks
I need waiters
The pullman car needs porters
I need special folks
With special jobs to do
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
Every wheel was stiff and rusty
But we got that train a-rollin
Cause we all pulled together
With a mighty heave or two
The conductor said
Get to know each other
it's a long and hard old journey
Got everyone on board
Not just the chosen few
That train of common sense and reason
Only goes in one direction
But there's a car for every nation
Every different point of view
The conductor looks contented
He said were runnin right on schedule
And I know I've never had a better crew
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
Can't pull this train over the mountain
It's a long way over the mountain
Can't pull this train over the mountain without you
