Sweethearts Of The Rodeo - Steel Rail Blues lyrics

rate me

Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a boy who found the time to write

To his lonesome girl somewhere in the night

He sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to his lovin' arms

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

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 bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

I been up tight 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

Well I look over yonder cross the plain

The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground

Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound

Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

[ harmonica ]

Well I got my mail late last night...
