Rick Rack Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty (Buy Gerry Rafferty CDs)
Album: Can I Have My Money Back? [Expanded]

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When I grow up I want to be an engine driver
But if I canâ‚¬â„¢t be that Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be a deep sea diver.

My father says that I must always work on the land
And I never disagreed when Iâ‚¬â„¢d see him lift his hand
Mother thinks that I should be a carpenter to trade
That I could fill my house with the things that I had made.

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When I grow up I want to be an engine driver
But if I canâ‚¬â„¢t be that Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be a deep sea diver.

I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryinâ‚¬â„¢
Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so Iâ‚¬â„¢ll keep on tryinâ‚¬â„¢.

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track
When I grow up I want to be an engine driver
But if I canâ‚¬â„¢t be that Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be a deep sea diver.

My brother says that I must pay attention at the school
Because Iâ‚¬â„¢ve never won a prize, he thinks that Iâ‚¬â„¢m a fool
Teacher always asks me why I look so far away
Itâ‚¬â„¢s just that I find nothing in the words he has to say.

Rick rack, rickety rack
Iâ‚¬â„¢m leaving home and Iâ‚¬â„¢m never coming back
Iâ‚¬â„¢m on my way to be an engine driver
But if I canâ‚¬â„¢t be that Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be a deep sea diver.
