When we came to the station, all the trains were rustyThe doors were open and the windows broken inThere was grass in all the cracks and the air hung mustyThe travel posters were flappin' in the windSo, we moved through the dust and gloomPlayin' waiting games in the waiting roomLay our sleepin' bags out on the floorAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to meWith apple cider, leave me here without a place to goIf I followed the coast road, I'd be home by evenin'The harbor lights still cut across the bayFrom the slot machine arcade the lights go streamin'To the bikes outside the rock 'n roll cafeAh, but you know those small town bluesAre really too much to loseThere's nothin' really there to go back forAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to meWith apple cider, leaves me here without a place to goAny railway station would be just fine, fine, fineTo settle down and wash the cobwebs from your headOh, if your situation's runnin' dry, dry, dryFind a waiting room beneath the stars to make your bedYou know London can make your brain stallThe streets get cold and empty on a rainy night, so you duckInto the subway station, you can hear the trains call, they wannaTake you to the Earl's Court Road but it don't seem right'Cause there's na na na noowah on the jukeboxSingin' in the burger bar, see the people's facesIn the passin' cars don't want to knowAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to meWith apple cider, leaves me here without a place to goYou have the most appealing surface I have seenBring it over here, lay it down by meDon't mean to make you nervous, I just meanTo make you see, this is the place to beWhen we came to the station, all the trains were rustyThe air was empty and the platforms overgrownThere were old tin cans and cats and the doors were crustedWith mud and leaves and names carved long agoAnd the rails go on forever in a silver trailTo the setting sun, you can follow themAnywhere you want to goAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to meWith apple cider, leaves me here without a need to know
