lyrics

The last time I rode a train, I rode it back to you
I rode it through the rain and snow, back to the skies of blue
I rode it over soaring heights and through deep valleys too
The last time I rode a train, I rode it back to you

I waited seven hours, standing in the rain
Waited by the railroad tracks, for an Eastbound train
When early in the morning, I heard the engine’s roar
I swung aboard that freight train, right through the boxcar door

I left that rainy city, down on the western coast
Rode it through the mountains to the girl I missed the most
I found her there in Cowtown, out on the open plains
And told her that I rode to her upon an Eastbound train

A ride upon the railroad, can leave a poor man’s soul
High up in the mountains, or crushed like dirty coal
I told her that I loved her, told her it was true
The last time I rode a train, I rode it back to you

She said you weary hobo, come in and sit ye down
You rode so many miles, to see me in this town
I’m happy for the gesture, it’s good to be with you
But that is all it is, dear, I’m sorry if you’re blue
