The Life Is the Red Wagon
Jane Siberry
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
Keeps the feet upon the ground
The life is the red
Is the red
Oh it's no big deal
But when the feet are dragging
Oh
You pull for me
And I pull for you
You pull for 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 though you don't know why
The life is the red wagon
Rolling along
The life is the red wagon
Keeps the feet upon the ground
The life is the red
Is the red
Oh it's no big deal
But when the feet are dragging
Oh
You pull for me
And I pull for you
You pull for me
And I pull for you
(You pull for me)
The life is the red wagon
(I pull for you)
Rolling along
(You pull for me)
The life is the red wagon
(I pull for you)
Simple and strong
(You pull for me)
