[Verse]
Climbing aboard as the bell gives a ring
The streetcar hums like a lively old thing
Tracks on the ground lead to places unknown
A rattle and a jolt
I'm never alone
[Verse 2]
Windows wide open the breeze pulls me near
The city's alive in my eye and my ear
The clang of the wheels the stories they tell
A chorus of life in this iron-shell
[Chorus]
Riding the streetcar through the heart of the town
Up the hills and back down
The tracks sing a song that's older than me
Riding the streetcar sets my soul free
[Verse 3]
A stranger beside me we both catch a smile
No words exchanged but we ride for a while
The driver up front wears a face carved with time
Guiding this beast down its rattling line
[Bridge]
Oh the wires above hum a tune so divine
Connecting our hearts through the tracks that align
Every stop's a new tale every turn's a new rhyme
This streetcar's a clock that rolls back through time
[Chorus]
Riding the streetcar through the heart of the town
Up the hills and back down
The tracks sing a song that's older than me
Riding the streetcar sets my soul free
