Must Be Right

about

Train hopping is a long-established tradition in the USA, but did you know it's popular in Britain? Although it's against the law, many people hitch free rides on freight trains today. Both men and women are involved. They come from all walks of life, from vagrants and immigrant workers to thrill-seeking middle class citizens. It can be quite an adventure considering freight lines pass through all of our counties and major cities.

Unfortunately, a small number of people are killed every year trespassing on railways and jumping trains. People have been crushed by heavy loads. Some have been trapped in containers and died of thirst and starvation. Some have even frozen to death in winter months while travelling in sub-zero temperatures. However, there are many seasoned travellers who follow a code of ethics to find their way around the freight network and make their journey as safe as possible. Although the rail authorities dismiss the sentimental idea of train hopping as simply criminal and extremely dangerous, for some it is a really exciting and daring experience.

lyrics

As the train pulls out the station
Right on time
There's a lonely stranger
Moving down the line
Dressed in my travelling clothes
Going where fortune goes
I'm searching for those
Precious dreams of mine

Well, I'll feel much better
When I get to where I'm going
And I'll write you a letter
When all my work is done
You won't believe your eyes
You're gonna realise
That I ain't what you call me
A no good son of a gun

There's sadness in my laughing eyes
Madness in my scheming mind
Darkness in my morning skies
I've got to find the light
And all the while there's
Something says I must go on
Something says my time will come
Something says I can't be wrong
So I guess I must be right
