Driving across Dakota I saw an old freight train That train has crossed this state Through the wind the snow and rain Now the wheels were rusted golden And it wasn't on a track Somebody somewhere swore that train would be coming back CHORUS You remain Unchanged, unchanged You remain Unchanged, unchanged Went back to my old house And I parked across the street I could almost see us there My mother and me And I could feel her gentle guidance I could feel her hold me tight Seems like too many years since she kissed me goodnight CHORUS You remain Unchanged, unchanged You remain Unchanged, unchanged You remain Unchanged, unchanged Walking with my father Down the avenue For every step he took I must've taken two Now his steps have grown much slower But time keeps rushing on We know this life's so fragile But we're both counting on, that CHORUS Amen.
