I feel like an old railroad man Ridin' out on the Bluemont Line Hummin' along Old Dominion blues Not much to see, and not much left to lose And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer But I'll know how to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And I guess I may never understand The times that I live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Gettin' on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now, this train is just too slow And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer But I'll know how to find my way back

Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again I'm living alone, a place of my own A bed, a chair and one back door Something went wrong with the words to my song And now she ain't around no more Something she said as she lay on my bed Six or seven hours ago I guess I was wrong I really didn't think she would go Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again Her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me I said her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me If I'd realised I'd be less surprised to find That she was laughing at me

Oggi piove Nella valle E Roncocesi ormai è alle spalle Torno a casa Come i cani A sbranare Gli aquiloni Yeah Testa o croce passa il tempo Braghe corte e poi In un lampo I ricordi Pelle d'oca E una lacrima Da mezza lira Dove sarai Casa mia Come sarai Vita mia Oh no no no Che sospesi per aria E ci giri via Come fiori Oh no no no Come piume nell'aria Portati via siamo soli Dove sarai Casa mia Come sarai Vita mia Oh no no no Che sospesi per aria E ci giri via Come fiori Oh no no no Come piume nell'aria Portati via siamo soli Na na Nainanana Na na Nainanana If you make him cry Aria siamo aria Nell'aria Solo aria And don't make him cry Testa o croce Torno piano Che quel cerco ormai È già lontano

Hey tomorrow, where are you goin' Do you have some room for me 'Cause night is fallin' and the dawn is callin' I'll have a new day if she'll have me Hey tomorrow, I can't show you nothin' You've seen it all pass by your door So many times I said I been changin' Then slipped into patterns of what happened before 'Cause I've been wasted and I've over-tasted All the things that life gave to me And I've been trusted, abused and busted And I've been taken by those close to me Hey tomorrow you've gotta believe that I'm through wastin' what's left of me 'Cause night is fallin' and the dawn is callin' I'll have a new day if she'll have me 'Cause I've been wasted and I've over-tasted All the things that life gave to me And I've been trusted, abused and busted And I've been taken by those close to me Hey tomorrow, where are you goin' Do you have some room for me 'Cause night is fallin' and the dawn is callin' I'll have a new day if she'll have me I'll have a new day if she'll have me

She stood by the window And let down her hair Asked if I knew that I shouldn't be there Her lips said goodbye But her body said stay I knew I should go But I stayed anyway And they called her child of midnight And they say she'd love whomever she'd find But when morning came I loved her And she stayed there in my mind She stood by the window And let down her hair Asked if I thought that it was right That she'd give her body and I'd give my mind Looked for an answer all the night And they called her child of midnight And they say she'd love whomever she'd find But when morning came I loved her And she stayed there in my mind She stood by the window And tied up her hair Acted as if I had never been there Her lips said goodbye And her body said stay Knew I should go but I stayed anyway And they called her child of midnight And they say she'd love whomever she'd find But when morning came I loved her And she stayed there in my mind

The railroads, and the riverboats, that bred the mighty man That we read about, and we dream about The men who built this land And the farmers and the lumbermen and the men who worked the mills And the poor hard working miners Who died inside the hills While the rivers that flow Are the blood of our land And the trucks they keep rumbling On the great concrete band And the railroads keep pushing To be all they once were And nature is calling No one's listening to her And the immigrants, by the boat load, in a dozen different tones Sang of freedom, in the new land Climbed the ladder rung by rung Some to Boston, some to Pittsburg, Philidelphia and St. Paul And the old ways, led to new days They were welcome one and all. While the rivers that flow Are the blood of our land And the trucks they keep rumbling On the great concrete band And the railroads keep pushing To be all they once were And nature is calling No one's listening to her With the railroads, and the riverboats, and the bread lines far behind And the days we sang together Long gone but still in mind And the men who, came before us, men who brought us to today And the story, still unravels, from the dreams of yesterday While the rivers that flow Are the blood of our land And the trucks they keep rumbling On the great concrete band And the railroads keep pushing To be all they once were And nature is calling No one's listening to her And nature is calling, No one's listening to her
