[00:02.56]While riding on a train goin' west
[00:09.42]I fell asleep for to take my rest
[00:15.66]I dreamed a dream that made me sad
[00:24.39]Concerning myself and the first few friends I had
[00:37.81]With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
[00:44.62]Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
[00:50.61]Where we together weathered many a storm
[01:00.53]Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn
[01:12.25]By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
[01:18.93]Our words were told our songs were sung
[01:24.30]Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
[01:34.66]Jokin and talkin about the world outside
[01:47.43]With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
[01:54.24]We never thought we could ever get old
[02:00.29]We thought we could sit forever in fun
[02:10.28]And our chances really was a million to one
[02:56.01]As easy it was to tell black from white
[03:02.38]It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
[03:08.68]And our choices were few and the thought never hit
[03:18.48]That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split
[03:34.02]How many a year has passed and gone
[03:41.53]Many a gamble has been lost and won
[03:47.39]And many a road taken by many a first friend
[03:58.56]And each one I’ve never seen again
[04:18.44]I wish I wish I wish in vain
[04:23.69]That we could sit simply in that room again
[04:29.11]Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
[04:41.16]I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
