Religion on the Rails (I Saw You There) Songtext
von Chadwick Stokes

I saw the weather change
Saw the Earth turn from gray to rain
Brought the piper his marmalade
And he handed me some yarn

We caught out on a grainer
That was picking up speed heading West
Threw our bags into the rabbit holes
As we laid our heads to rest

And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there

But every man, there′s a vacancy
For everything we wickedly implore
Oh Lord, keep it far from me
Don't want nothing to do with before

I guessed we were on the Illinois central line
Headed in for Iowa corn
Hadn′t been clean in over two months' time
But dry was all that the preacher sold


And I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
And I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again

'Cause I wasn′t where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn′t where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in

I saw you there
Yes, I saw you there
I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again
Oh, we are only doing the best we can
Oh, I am doing the best I can

Oh, 'cause I wasn′t where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh, I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
