Central Pacific Lyrics by Parker Millsap

Palisade

2014

[Verse 1]
Sun went careening
Over the ceiling
And crashed onto the plains
Set fire to the amber waves of grain
[Verse 2]
The moon it dances
Over acres and fences
And waltzes down into the water
Sounds like the ring that I bought her
[Verse 3]
There's a gal
In California
I'll see her when I get off this rail
Sent her one last letter in the mail
[Chorus]
Will you wait for me
By the blue oak tree?
Will you marry me?
I know I've been gone
And this rail road's long
But I built it for to carry you a ring
[Verse 4]
Twelve hour days
For minimum wage
And I'll carry every penny back to Sacramento
This black chariot will let me swing home
[Verse 5]
Just a railroad man
With railroad hands
And I built this track to build you a home
I just built you a place to be alone
[Verse 6]
All the way to promontory
I wrote a lovers' story
And I'm comin' back for to fulfill
The promises my letters did reveal
[Chorus]
Will you wait for me
By the blue oak tree?
Will you marry me?
I know I've been gone
And this rail road's long
But I built it for to carry you a ring
[Chorus]
Will you wait for me
By the blue oak tree?
Will you marry me?
I know I've been gone
And this rail road's long
But I built it for to carry you a ring
But I built it for to carry you a ring
But I built it for to carry you a ring
