In a boxcar in the moonlight
In the open in the place
You are sleeping on my jacket
And I'm waiting for a change

When we started at a crossing
Down the valley from your home
In the morning we'll be missing
We'll be rolling, well be gone

When your parent's ultimatum
Made it easy to decide
We went running to the river
To say good-bye

We heard something come a rolling
Going slowly for a change
And the boxcar, it was so easy
It was so perfect, it was strange

But we trusted in the moment
For the timing to begin
And we held on to the handle
And we're in

In a boxcar in the moonlight
In the open, on a plane
You are sleeping on my jacket
And I'm waiting for a change

And I'm waiting for a change
