时长: 05:20
Shadows come creepin' down the alleys [00:00:25]
Lonesome lines the boulevard[00:00:30]
Neon flickers to the rhythm of the night [00:00:38]
But this evenin' sleep is coming hard[00:00:44]
Down the concrete hallways in this part of town[00:00:53]
You can hear the young hearts drowning in thirst for life[00:01:01]
The back streets full of mystery people[00:01:08]
Frozen in their dreams[00:01:12]
Too little mercy too little love [00:01:14]
Too much night it's too much tonight[00:01:19]
Chorus:[00:01:23]
The eastern avenue runs level with the river[00:01:23]
In between lies the freight yard of boxcar blues[00:01:30]
Eastern avenue railway come on come on and deliver[00:01:38]
This load of tears and this pair of walking shoes[00:01:45]
Boy's got the eastern avenue river railway blues[00:01:52]
Trapped between him and the city [00:02:14]
He packed a bag and took one south bound over the line[00:02:22]
Trapped between him and the pity he suffers for those unfaithful times[00:02:29]
Well eastbound river railway runs swift and hard[00:02:45]
He swears tonight he's gonna take that ride[00:02:52]
Jerk a cold steel freight train right down the boulevard[00:03:01]
He ain't gonna stop 'til all the loneliness collides[00:03:07]
'Cause it's too much tonight[00:03:14]
