There's a time I spent in the Huron's
In the town of St. Marie of the Sue
It eases my mind to know I can journey on
And come crawling right back home to you
There's some girls I met when I was out east
There's a girl I held in the coulees
She give me southern sugar
Near the cornfields of Taber
South of the badlands of Drumheller
Yes, I'm riding down them tracks
I don't think that I'll be heading back
Yes, I'm hiding from those checks
There ain't no sleep 'til the Columbia
When you're riding
On that rocky mountain train
There's a time I spent with a prairie rose
In the town of the Tiger Lily
In my dreams the wind has blown
My trail back home to these fields
Yeah, I'm riding down them tracks
I don't think that I'll be heading back
Yes, I'm hiding from those checks
There ain't no peace until the Columbia
When you're riding
On that rocky mountain train
There ain't no peace until the Columbia
When you're riding
On that rocky mountain train
There ain't no peace until the Columbia
When you're riding
On that rocky mountain train
Riding on, on that train
Riding on, on that train
Riding on, on that train
Yeah, you gotta move
Yeah, you gotta move
You gotta move, child
Yeah, you gotta move
Yeah you gotta move
Riding on, on that train
Riding on, on that train
Riding on, on that train
Yeah, you gotta move
Yeah, you gotta move, child
Yeah, you gotta move
Yeah, you gotta move,
Yeah you gotta move
