Makin' a trip that he can't do alone
Wants someone to share his throne
Needing a lover and a companion
To take the train from Williams to the canyon

Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
He don't need anyone to understand
Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
Heavy load he's gonna need a hand

Mornings he'll go down the Methodist church
Hear all about the immaculate birth
Evenings he'll head to the Masonic lodge
Make mystical symbols in the garage alright

Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
He don't need anyone to understand
Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
Heavy load he's gonna need a hand

For sixty years they'll never part
Spending the time perfecting the arts
Reaching the summit just before dark
They'll find the stones where they can park alright

Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
He don't need anyone to understand
Takin' the train from Williams to the canyon
Heavy load he's gonna need a hand
He's gonna need a hand
