Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a boy who found the time to write |
|
To his lonesome girl somewhere in the night |
|
He sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to his lovin' arms |
|
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
|
I been out here many long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own |
|
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on |
|
I been stood up I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand |
|
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
|
I been up tight most every night walkin' along the streets of this old town |
|
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to |
|
My good old car she done broke down cause I drove it into the ground |
|
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
|
Well I look over yonder cross the plain |
|
The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground |
|
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound |
|
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now |
|
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
