Ain't Life Swell
The tracks have snow on them
But the wheels still glide
Hop on a freight and take a ride
It don't cost nothin'
But if you fall you might die
It's warm inside
Box-car Captain Freddy
He got himself a fire
That he'll share with you
If he like the first few -
Sentences you speak of a story
If he doesn't like A to B to D
He may say A to D to B to D
Or just say, "time you get off"
With a fur-ball cough in the key of C
Snow outlines branches of trees
Frozen strata painted by Da Vinci
The hillside whispers comes softly
It's all coming back into view slowly
While you calculate a jumping off point
With good Filson boots hitting another joint
Oh, gee, you see, ain't life so swell
