you watch the slow train moving

through the city late at night

adjusting back and forth

against the darkness and street lights

I know that you're feeling bad

but I'm glad you didn't lie

easy to get caught up...but you know

you can always you can always

you can always walk away



the life is the red wagon rolling along

the life is the red wagon simple and strong

the life is the red...is the red...

oh, it's no big deal

but when the feet are draggin'



you pull me

and I pull for you

you pull me

and I pull for you



past the teeming marketplace

and the blur of faces there

past the silent dockyards

and the darkness looming there

maybe it won't work this time

but that's the risk you take

(and you want to take it)

and just as long as it feels right

doesn't matter just as long as...

doesn't matter ...gotta feel good

even though you don't know why



the life is the red wagon rolling along

the life is the red wagon simple and strong

the life is the red...is the red...

oh, it's no big deal

but when the feet are draggin'



you pull me

and i pull for you

you pull me

and i pull for you



the life is the red wagon

simple and strong.
