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
