I waited two and a half years for a train to Springfield, Ohio I gave up and I began to walk, but I was so hungry And its a damn good thing I was wearing shoes I decided the cool thing to do would be to order some Challah Bread And Turtle Soup But I ordered a tuna salad sandwich And some french fries I mean, What the hell's the difference anyway Look, the thing is, I'm half way to Springfield, Like I'm in Maryland someplace, And the money runs out I get some freelance welding work in Silver Spring and then- And this was a big kick for me- I put on my hat and I said "Sorry, Sue Ellen, but I got to be moving on." As it turned out, I never did get to Springfield, Ohio. Oh, but sometimes, Sometimes when the moon is full I can hear that old dog howling Howling, like he was right outside my own window.
