Took a midnight train   Headed way back east   Left behind some pain   In hopes of finding some peace   Fortunately caught one   Bound for my old neighborhood   Either way, between us, it's good   They're building a bridge   Links Manhattan with the heartland   It's called the California ridge   The country needs to expand   Saw them lay the first stone   It was made of wood   Either way, between us, it's good      In an age of greys   When wrong won't become right   Let's lift the haze   And scale the heights      Set my shoulders straight   Took a deep breath   This meeting I anticipate   Unlike impending death   Strode on to the platform   And there you stood   At worst, between us, it's good
