Ramona, how long has it been?
I'm counting stars from the train cars and spelling out your name
You and whiskey ain't lovers
But you've had a few benders
With a bottle of sun-warmed gin
Ramona, where have you been?
You moved out of the city, back to the country
Saying, "These Lowell boys just don't know how to quit
This city is no place for us train hopping kids
Let's move on again"
Ramona, this might be our end
Count your blessings from the windows
Trade a number for your name
Nine-to fives might break us
But this soul won't make another winter in my own skin
Ramona, where have you been?
You moved out of the country, out of the valley
Saying, "Merrimack water's got me running thin
No, this valley is no place for us train hopping kids
Let's move on again"
