I have given up music entirely so you will never see me live and you will never hear these songs on the radio or see any of them for sale. In fact you will not

This is a leftover remnant of The Rev. He no longer exists.

Lyrics

TRACKS OF THE OLD SANTE FE

Now the old Santa Fe line cuts deep
Through a town, deeply divided.
It cuts through our hearts …as it daily departs 
With a low moan.
 
We were just children in school 
With no thought of our families positions
Behind buildings and in alleys 
We’d play out our dreams with abandon

I ‘d go to work at the shop 
You’d bake bread and make babies
I’d come home; we’d have supper and go to bed
And be lovers…. but only play-like…(now) it don’t take no genius
And it sure don’t take no preacher 
(No) any blind fool might say
That a truelove is stronger than the tracks of the old Santa Fe
          
               Now I’ve grown into a man 
And by the Santa Fe line… I’m employed
And each day as I pass…I can see you through the glass 
Of your mansion 
              And from your window high on the hill
My home looked so raged and shabby 
(But) as the train came your way, your chandelier would sway
Their teardrop crystals 
And you’d think of me. (now) it don’t take no genius
And it sure don’t take no preacher 
(No) any blind fool might say
That a true love is stronger than the tracks on the old Santa Fe

Some day when the rose is in bloom
And the breeze of the spring whispers secrets
The old Santa Fe, it’s gonna take us away
To be lovers…. this time for real
We’ll need a preacher, and with God as our witness
Lord, you’re gonna hear someone say now
A true love is stronger than the old Santa Fe
