Steel Rail Blues |
Sweethearts of the Rodeo |
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 |
uh uh uhc. |
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 |
