[00:01.87]
[00:03.56]While riding on a train goin' west
[00:07.61]
[00:10.42]I fell asleep for to take my rest
[00:14.85]
[00:16.66]I dreamed a dream that made me sad
[00:22.53]
[00:25.39]Concerning myself and the first few friends I had
[00:32.19]
[00:38.81]With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
[00:42.30]
[00:45.62]Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
[00:48.61]Where we together weathered many a storm
[00:57.53]
[01:01.53]Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn
[01:07.64]
[01:13.25]By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
[01:17.44]
[01:19.93]Our words were told  our songs were sung
[01:23.12]
[01:25.30]Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
[01:31.42]
[01:35.66]Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside
[01:41.53]
[01:55.43]With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
[01:57.24]We never thought we could ever get old
[01:59.30]
[02:01.29]We thought we could sit forever in fun
[02:07.85]
[02:11.28]But our chances really was a million to one
[02:17.83]
[03:00.01]As easy it was to tell black from white
[03:02.38]
[03:03.38]It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
[03:07.13]
[03:09.68]And our choices were few and the thought never hit
[03:15.93]
[03:19.48]That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split
[03:25.53]
[03:39.02]How many a year has passed and gone
[03:41.40]
[03:42.53]And many a gamble has been lost and won
[03:46.08]
[03:48.39]And many a road taken by many a friend
[03:55.07]
[03:58.56]And each one I've never seen again
[04:04.99]
[04:21.44]I wish  I wish  I wish in vain
[04:24.69]That we could sit simply in that room again
[04:27.30]
[04:30.11]Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
[04:39.16]
[04:42.16]I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
