downbound train - kurt vile lyrics

[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 yard
our love went bad, times got hard
now i work down at the car wash
where all it ever does is rain
don’t you feel like you’re a rider
on a downbound train?

[verse 2]
she just said “joe, i gotta go
we had it once, we ain’t got it anymore”
she packed her bags and 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
yeah, yeah

[verse 3]
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
put on my jacket, i ran through the woods
i ran till i thought my chest would explode
there in a 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
and i heard that long whistle whine
and i dropped to my knees, hung my head, and cried
now as i swing a hammer on the road gang
knocking down them crossties, working in the rain
now don’t it feel like you’re a rider on a downbound train?
