歌詞

The 8:17 northbound success merry-go-round Words and Music by Margo Guryan I knew the man well We used to be good friends a long time ago He had a heart and a mind He was one of a kind The kind of a man a man would be lucky to know But then there came a change As I recall it all, it all happened fast It was as though he had seen the American dream And thought that the dream would bring him fulfillment at last He put on a suit He put on a shirt He put on a tie He kissed his child He kissed his wife He kissed his life good-bye The last I saw of him He walked along the road, and he looked around As though he wanted to see one more blossoming tree Before he'd be walking on cold city ground He got to the station He climbed aboard The eight-seventeen northbound success merry-go-round © 1968 (renewed) DARTMOOR MUSIC Used by permission.
