She said there was a boxcar
Underneath a bridge in the East Side
We found it after dark,
With the moon over the railroad track
We could climb inside the empty car
And there we could start a fire
If the night felt cold
We'd get over it
Over and over again
Over the tracks
Over the bridge
Over some other
Town tonight
They said there was a party
That we both should go to
We said we had an invitation
And got in with a smile
We could find a couch
To fall asleep on
And when we woke up
We could drink more to get over it
Over and over again
Over the tracks
Over the bridge
Over some other
Town tonight
You told me you saw something
The night your best friend died
You know I could never know
What you might have seen
We could take a train to find
A better life
And if it didn't work out
We could fall back on what got us over it
Over and over again
Over the tracks
Over the bridge
Over some other
Town tonight
Over the tracks
Over the bridge
Over some other
Town tonight
