Johnny Macon has a wife and one child on the way And Houston's runnin' out of jobs and there are bills to pay Johnny's flying standby to Alaska on a chance He hears them callin' all aboard his life is not a dance All aboard the sky train there must be better times And we keep moving down the line all aboard the sky train Kerry Jackson lost her man to whiskey and cocaine And all she saw in Florida were memories of pain And the money from the condo won't last her very long And so she's flying out today her life is not a song All aboard the sky train the sun will always shine Up where those lonesome engines whine all aboard the sky train Refugees on winds of war with nothin' in their eyes Midnight bands on endless tours in search of endless highs Airports in the morning ahen truth is all around We're restless millions movin' on the lost and not yet found All aboard the sky train there must be better times If we keep moving down the line all aboard the sky train
