[Chorus 1]
When the red sun sets
On the railroad town
And the bars begin to laugh
With a happy sound
I'll still be here
Right by your side
There'll not be anyone
In my heart but you

[Chorus 2]
And the dreams that you're having
They won't let you down
If you just follow on
Cause you know
Where you're bound
The well will be flowing
And the words will come fast
When the one who is coming
Arrives here at last

[Verse]
On the grassy hills
Of the railroad town
Where we cut through the fences
And over the crown
Where wind was blowing
Right through your hair
I dreamt that my Momma
And Daddy were there

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He is easily recognizably for his distinct tenor voice, making him a near-polar opposite of his Canadian folk contemporary, the baritone Leonard Cohen, although they both share a dense and idiosyncratic sense of lyricism.

Young has released an album almost every year since 1969 with his eponymous debut album and most recently The Visitor, released in 2017. In between, he’s done collaborative albums with Pearl Jam and Crazy Horse (later being dubbed “The Godfather of Grunge”), brought his profound lyricism to the Simon and Garfunkel-esque harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who, according to legend, he performed with at Woodstock, and even did autotune way before Kanye.

Young is one of the few people to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as himself and once with his psychedelic rock band Buffalo Springfield which he co-founded in 1966 along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay after illegally emigrating to Los Angeles.
