parallel tracks

you are waltzing Matilda
I'm line-dancing with Bill 
you are writing her love songs 
I'm penning from random will 
you're singing her beautiful ballads
I am living these country tunes 
my days are always rainy 
and yours are sunny and blue 

I am in Chicago 
you are in Mexico 
I am eating chopped salad 
you're eating, God only knows 
you are paving your future
I'm driving with only one wiper 
you are saving for some day 
and I'm still paying the piper 

it's evening and I'm wondering 
if our lives will ever connect
while I am out still wandering
you chose to love and protect 
wondering how these trains 
the smoke coming thick from the stack
how could I ever meet you 
when they run on parallel tracks
