Those Railroad Tracks In Between

[Verse 1]
Tonight we'll meet in the same old place where the lights are low
'Cause your folks don't want you and me to be seen
Though I live just across the way
We've got no right to love
'Cause those railroad tracks run in between

[Verse 2]
If they knew you were meeting me they'd never let you go
I wonder why they have to be so mean
You're a rich man's daughter, I'm a poor man's son
They won't give us a chance
'Cause those railroad tracks run in between

[Bridge]
But I'm a-gonna work so hard to be somebody
Then they'll forget which side of town I'm from
'Cause with your love to see me through
There's nothing I can't do
And one day they'll be proud to call me "Son"

[Verse 3]
And so if you can't steal away tomorrow night
Remember that I'll meet you in my dreams
A boy and girl so much in love
Can't be kept apart
Just 'cause those railroad tracks run in between

[Outro]
Just 'cause those railroad tracks run in between
Just 'cause those railroad tracks run in between
