Railroad Lady |
She’s a railroad lady, just a little bit shady |
Spending her days on the train |
She’s a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er |
Now she’s tryin', just tryin' to get home again |
South Station in Boston to the freight yards of Austin |
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain |
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks |
She’s tryin', just tryin' to get home again |
Once a highballin' loner, he thought he could own 'er |
Bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring |
She hocked them for cold cash, left town on the Wabash |
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home 'way back then |
But the rails are now rusty, the dining cars dusty |
The gold plated watches have taken their toll |
The railroads are dying, and the lady, she’s crying |
On a bus to Kentucky, and home that’s her goal |
She’s a railroad lady, just a little bit shady |
Spending her life on the trains |
Once a Pullman car traveler, now the brakeman won’t have her |
She’s tryin', just tryin' to get home again |
Yeah, on a bus to Kentucky, then home — once — again |
