Steel Rail Blues - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Well I got my mail late last night[00:00:05]
A letter from a girl who found the time to write[00:00:08]
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night[00:00:12]
She sent me a railroad ticket too[00:00:16]
To take me to her lovin' arms[00:00:19]
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love[00:00:21]
Well I been out here many long days[00:00:30]
I haven't found a place that I could call my own[00:00:33]
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on[00:00:37]
I been stood up I bin shook down[00:00:41]
I been dragged into the sand[00:00:43]
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love[00:00:46]
Well I been uptight most every night[00:01:07]
Walkin' along the streets of this old town[00:01:09]
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to[00:01:13]
My good old car she done broke down[00:01:18]
Cause I drove it into the ground[00:01:20]
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love[00:01:22]
Well I look over yonder across the plain[00:01:28]
The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground[00:01:31]
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound[00:01:35]
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal[00:01:39]
And Lord I need one now[00:01:42]
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love[00:01:44]
Now here I am with my hat in my hand[00:02:05]
Standin' on the broad highway will you give a ride[00:02:08]
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night[00:02:12]
I went in town for one last round[00:02:16]
And I gambled my ticket away[00:02:19]
And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love[00:02:21]
