lyrics

Walking cross the river with everything I own
The wind is at my back and my heart I left at home
Just barely made the last train before the winter storm came down
I'm heading to Alberta to the biggest little town

So many folks are passing, so many are depressed
You can't get unemployment and they jacked up all the rent
Heath care doesn't care no more we can't afford the crutch
Everyone just locks the door and ain't back after lunch

Chorus:
And it drains the soul to watch it go
No one's left in town
And it drains the soul to watch it go
It’s a quiet eerie sound

So many on this run down train making the great escape
Tired faces full of fear and their eyes are full of ache
I think I'll take a visit to the home that I once knew
There's not a lot of people left but I heard there's still a few.
