downbound train (nebraska outtakes) - bruce springsteen lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i had a job, i had a girl
i had something going, mister, in this world
i got laid off down at the auto yard
our love went bad, times got hard

[chorus]
now i work down at the car wash
where all it ever does is rain
sometimes don’t you feel like you’re a rider
oh baby, on a downbound train?

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
nights as i sleep, i still hear the whistle whining
i feel her soft kiss in the misty morning rain
sometimes don’t you feel like you’re a rider
oh baby, on a downbound train?

[verse 3]
last night, i heard a voice
you were crying, crying, you were so alone
you said your love had never died
and you were waiting for me at home
[verse 4]
well, 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

[verse 5]
i rushed through the yard, i burst through the front door
and then up the stairs i climbed
the room was dark, our bed was empty
and then i heard that long whistle whine
and then i dropped to my knees
hung my head and cried

[chorus]
now i swing a sledgehammer on a railroad gang
knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
sometimes don’t you feel like you’re a rider
baby, on a downbound train?
