Truckin´ by the railway station I´m on the road again Steerin´ clear of all temptation Unto the point of pain When steamin´ through on cue I hear that wailin´ whistle blow If this is tomorrow callin´ Oh what a way to go! Day to day you live old fashioned Hi-toned, fancy free A double take, an image-spittin´ Tailored to a t While history is tellin´ you The same old thing This is tomorrow callin´ Let´s stick a new oar in This is tomorrow callin´ Y´all ´n Come on in
