Cory Morrow - Texas Bound Train lyrics

rate me

Well I waited all night by the railroad tracks

Hopin’ that train would come soon.

I got two more smokes, half a bottle of scotch

Man I ain’t got too much to lose

Now I toss slop at a local truck stop

In a town just out of Pittsburg P-A

I make $2.25 but I still ain’t alive

Lord, I need a Texas bound train

Yeah I gotta find a Texas bound train.

Take me, I wanna go

I wanna see where that Red River Flows

Steel wheels burnin’ into the night

Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride

On a midnight ride

On a midnight ride

It’s a long trip down them railroad tracks

To Texas I’ve never seen

I’ve heard stories been told

‘Bout old men and their oil

How they lost their riches and dreams

Now the angels came down in my dreams last night

While outside it was stormin’ rain

There was a rhythm of drops beatin’ on the rooftops

The angels sang of the train

Sang, You gotta find a Texas bound train

Take me, I wanna go

I wanna see where that Red River Flows

Steel wheels burnin’ into the night

Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride

On a midnight ride

Take me, I wanna go

I wanna see where that Red River Flows

Darlin,’ steel wheels burnin’ into the night

Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride

On a midnight ride

On a midnight ride

Ooooo-ooo
