steel rail blues - nicholas payne lyrics

[verse 1]
well i got my mail late last night
a letter from a girl who found the time to write
to her lonesome boy somewhere in the night
she sent me a railroad ticket too
to take me to her lovin’ arms
and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one i love

[verse 2]
well i been out here many long days
i haven’t found a place that i could call my own
not a two bit bed to lay my body on
i been stood up i been shook down
i been dragged into the sand
and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one i love

[verse 3]
well i been uptight most every night
walkin’ along the streets of this old town
not a friend around to tell my troubles to
my good old car she done broke down
’cause i drove it into the ground
and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one i love

[verse 4]
well i look over yonder across the plain
the big drive wheels are poundin’ along the ground
i’m gonna get on board and then i’ll be homeward bound
now i ain’t had no home cooked meal
for so long but i need one now
and the big steel rail’s gonna carry me home to the one i love
[verse 5]
now here i am with my hat in my hand
standin’ on the broad highway will you give a ride
to a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
i went back into town for one last round
and i gambled my ticket away
and now the big steel rail won’t carry me home to the one i love
no the big steel rail won’t carry me home to the one i love
