Downbound Train |
I had a job, I had a girl |
I had something going, mister, in this world |
I got laid off down at the lumber yard |
Our love went bad, times got hard |
Now I work down at the carwash |
Where all it ever does is rain |
Don’t it feel like you’re a rider |
On a downbound train? |
She just said «Joe, I gotta go |
«We had it once, we ain’t got it any more» |
She packed her bags, left me behind |
She bought a ticket on the Central Line |
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining |
I feel her kiss in the misty rain |
And I feel like I’m a rider |
On a downbound train |
Last night I heard your voice |
You were crying, crying, you were so alone |
You said your love had never died |
You were waiting for me at home |
I put on my jacket, I ran through the woods |
I ran 'til I thought my chest would explode |
There in the clearing beyond the highway |
In the moonlight our wedding house shone |
I rushed through the yard |
I burst through the front door |
My head pounding hard |
Up the stairs I climbed |
The room was dark |
Our bed was empty |
Then I heard that long whistle whine |
And I dropped to my knees |
Hung my head and cried |
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang |
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain |
Don’t it feel like you’re a rider |
On a downbound train? |
