All Aboard
The Wiyos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wild man let it go
Wild man let it be
There's a great big fish off the port bow
Can't you see
Set that high brow down
Don't whine about how hard
There's a whole lot more getting going on than a sitting at this bar
Well you sure got yourself worked up
Shooting blanks and betting luck
Well all along the reel goes out
Must your mind be stuck

All aboard
Sun sinking low
This train stops at every bend
You better get it before it goes

Days in, Days out
You won't catch me lying down
My mother said it builds character
But I could sure use a nap
And that snooze just might do
To rest these tired eyes
But you damn well bet I got a one eye open
For the very next stop is mine

So stop that train right there
Pull that cable down
For I see a rose that needs my nose
I'm gonna get it before it goes

All aboard
Sun sinking low
This train stops at every bend
You better get it before it goes

So that phone call came last night
They said the news was gettin' tight
Said the hole in the bucket got a whole lot bigger
And ain't nothing working right.

So take me to the ball game
Take me to the right train
Sweet will be our own refrain
There's a hot dog stand at 3 and 14
Sign me up for one

Well that springtime came and went
Oh summer lost it's own lament
They say winter it is no more
You better get it goes

All aboard
Sun sinking low




This train stops at every bend
You better get it before it goes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Wiyos's song "All Aboard" seem to convey a sense of restless adventure and embracing opportunities before they pass by. The opening lines, "Wild man let it go, Wild man let it be," encourage a carefree and spontaneous approach to life. The mention of a "great big fish off the port bow" suggests an exciting and elusive opportunity, urging the listener to seize the moment rather than lamenting the difficulties.


The refrain "All aboard, Sun sinking low, This train stops at every bend, You better get it before it goes" captures the urgency of making the most of life's opportunities. It suggests that time is running out, and one must not miss out on experiences or chances for growth. The song also touches on the frustration of feeling stuck or stagnant, as expressed in the lines "All along the reel goes out, Must your mind be stuck."


The lyrics also hint at the unpredictability of life and the need to adapt. The mention of a phone call with tight news and the idea that nothing is working right speaks to the challenges that can arise unexpectedly. However, the song ultimately encourages embracing these challenges and finding joy in the small pleasures of life, represented by the desire for a hot dog at 3 and 14.
