| [00:05.48] |
Well I got my mail late last night |
| [00:08.36] |
A letter from a girl who found the time to write |
| [00:12.64] |
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night |
| [00:16.74] |
She sent me a railroad ticket too |
| [00:19.43] |
To take me to her lovin' arms |
| [00:21.31] |
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
| [00:29.41] |
Well I been out here many long days |
| [00:33.06] |
I haven't found a place that I could call my own |
| [00:36.94] |
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on |
| [00:41.06] |
I been stood up I been shook down |
| [00:43.55] |
I been dragged into the sand |
| [00:45.72] |
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
| [01:06.07] |
Well I been uptight most every night |
| [01:09.68] |
Walkin' along the streets of this old town |
| [01:13.59] |
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to |
| [01:17.96] |
My good old car she done broke down |
| [01:20.46] |
'Cause I drove it into the ground |
| [01:22.53] |
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
| [01:28.34] |
Well I look over yonder across the plain |
| [01:31.57] |
The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground |
| [01:35.28] |
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound |
| [01:39.77] |
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal |
| [01:42.38] |
And Lord I need one now |
| [01:44.48] |
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love |
| [02:05.10] |
Now here I am with my hat in my hand |
| [02:08.49] |
Standin' on the broad highway will you give a ride |
| [02:12.29] |
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night |
| [02:16.81] |
I went in town for one last round |
| [02:19.24] |
And I gambled my ticket away |
| [02:21.26] |
And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love |
| [02:25.56] |
