Verse 1
The walls are built up, stone by stone
The fields divided one by one
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break
We've been on this shift too long"
Chorus
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break"
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away
Verse 2
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged
Bells are ringing through the town again
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing
Chorus
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break"
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away, but we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away
Bridge
A way to shield the hated heat
A way to put myself to sleep
A way to shield the hated heat
A way to put myself, my children to sleep

Verse 3
He piloted this song in a plane like that one
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again
The field to weed is lookin' thin
Chorus
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break
We've been on this shift too long"
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8, Driver 8, take a break"
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away, but we're still a ways away
But it's still a ways away
