I woke up on the wrong side of the railroad tracks
Somewhere along last night
The last train that ran from Georgia to the shores of California
Has long been out of line
The evening holds a chill
And the darkness stand so still
When we run
Dawn breaks and then it burns
Cause in the morning light we’ve learned
Just what we’ve done
Just what we’ve done
When the whistle blows
And the church bell tows
Please remember me
The way I was
When the crows fly south
And the preacher shouts
I hope you remember me
The way I was
The way I was
I hope you remember me
The way I was
I lost myself to find my way down a trail of tears it gets muddier each day
I crossed that bridge when it came to it
Now I barely recognize the stranger in my face
oh,The cold wind carries by
And the mend was real tight start to burn
Now I’m only afraid
The last picture will fully fade
Of how we were
Of how we were
When the whistle blows
And the church bell tows
Please remember me
The way I was
When the crows fly south
And the preacher shouts
I hope you remember me
The way I was
The way I was
I hope you remember me
The way I was
The cold wind carries by
And the mend was real tight start to burn
Now I’m only afraid
The last picture will fully fade
Of how we were
Of how we were
Of how we were
Oh,When the whistle blows
And the church bell tows
Please remember me
The way I was
When the crows fly south
And the preacher shouts
I hope you remember me
The way I was
The way I was
I hope you remember me
The way I was
Please remember me
Please remember me
Please remember me
The way I was
