YOU CAN'T GET FAR WITHOUT A RAILROAD
From the film "Night Passage" (1957)
(Dimitri Tiomkin / Ned Washington)

James Stewart (Film Soundtrack) - 1957


I was farmin' in Missouri, I was gettin' tired o' that
So I got myself a satchel and a stovepipe hat
And I headed for the station, gonna travel all about
But there wasn't any station and I soon found out
That you can't get far without a railroad
You can't get far without a railroad
It's gonna take you there and it's gonna bring you back
Oh, you can't go any distance in the ???? ????
You can't get far without a railroad
You can't get far without a railroad
You gotta have an engine and you gotta have a track
Oh, you can't get far without a railroad
