| Song | Downbound Train |
| Artist | The Smithereens |
| Album | Anthology: From Jersey It Came |
| [00:15.68] | I had a job, I had a girl |
| [00:19.30] | I had something going mister in this world |
| [00:23.51] | I got laid off down at the lumber yard |
| [00:27.48] | Our love went bad, times got hard |
| [00:31.70] | Now I work down at the carwash |
| [00:34.71] | Where all it ever does is rain |
| [00:39.75] | Don′t you feel like you′re a rider on a downbound train |
| [00:47.42] | She just said "Joe I gotta go |
| [00:51.50] | We had it once we ain′t got it any more" |
| [00:55.29] | She packed her bags left me behind |
| [00:59.43] | She bought a ticket on the Central Line |
| [01:03.37] | Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining |
| [01:07.57] | I feel her kiss in the misty rain |
| [01:11.59] | And I feel like I′m a rider on a downbound train |
| [01:36.20] | Last night I heard your voice |
| [01:39.27] | You were crying, crying, you were so alone |
| [01:43.61] | You said your love had never died |
| [01:48.04] | You were waiting for me at home |
| [01:51.80] | Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods |
| [01:55.66] | I ran till I thought my chest would explode |
| [02:00.06] | There in the clearing, beyond the highway |
| [02:04.57] | In the moonlight, our wedding house shone |
| [02:08.08] | I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door |
| [02:12.10] | My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed |
| [02:16.37] | The room was dark, our bed was empty |
| [02:20.64] | Then I heard that long whistle whine |
| [02:24.70] | And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried |
| [02:32.53] | Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang |
| [02:36.64] | Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain |
| [02:40.63] | Now don′t it feel like you′re a rider on a downbound train |
| [00:15.68] | I had a job, I had a girl |
| [00:19.30] | I had something going mister in this world |
| [00:23.51] | I got laid off down at the lumber yard |
