The Backpack Song

Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
 Oh, I've been wanting to see you
 Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
 Oh, I've been longing to see you
 You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
 You don't know how much I need you
 Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known
 I'll hold you close when I see you
 There's no way I could let you go
 There's no way I could let you go
 There's no way I could let you go
 And it seems to me
 We sing soft and low
 Such a sweet hello
 Backpack on my back, standing on a railroad track
 It won't be long 'til I see you
 Why do I always have to leave the only one I'll ever need?
 Now hold me close while I breathe you
 There's no way I could let you go
 There's no way I could let you go
 There's no way I could let you go
 And it seems to me
 We sing soft and low
 Such a sweet hello
 Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
 Oh, I've been wanting to see you
 Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
 Oh, I've been longing to see you
 You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time (There's no way I could let you go)
 You don't know how much I need you (There's no way I could let you go)
 Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me (There's no way I could let you go)
 Oh, I've been longing to see you (There's no way I could let you go)
 And it seems to me (Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track)
 We sing soft and low (Oh, I've been wanting to see you)
 Such a sweet hello (Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me)
 (Oh, I've been longing to see you)
 You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time (There's no way I could let you go)
 You don't know how much I need you
