you watch the slow train moving
through the city late at night
adjusting back and forth
against the darkness and street lights
I know that you're feeling bad
but I'm glad you didn't lie
easy to get caught up...but you know
you can always you can always
you can always walk away
the life is the red wagon rolling along
the life is the red wagon simple and strong
the life is the red...is the red...
oh, it's no big deal
but when the feet are draggin'
you pull me
and I pull for you
you pull me
and I pull for you
past the teeming marketplace
and the blur of faces there
past the silent dockyards
and the darkness looming there
maybe it won't work this time
but that's the risk you take
(and you want to take it)
and just as long as it feels right
doesn't matter just as long as...
doesn't matter ...gotta feel good
even though you don't know why
the life is the red wagon rolling along
the life is the red wagon simple and strong
the life is the red...is the red...
oh, it's no big deal
but when the feet are draggin'
you pull me
and i pull for you
you pull me
and i pull for you
