Railroad Ringtones

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

Blue railroad train I'm goin' down the railroad track It makes me feel so doggone blue To listen to that old smokestack Drivers a-rollin' on Leavin' me here behind And give me back them good old days And let me ramble down the line Blue railroad train Leavin' me here alone You're treatin' me good You're treatin' me bad And makin' me think of home I hear that lonesome train And love to hear the whistle blow She's takin' the sun And leavin' the rain And makin' me wanna go I've got the blues Longin' for her company It's many miles from where I am To the only one for me It's so lonesome here Waitin' for the manifest I hope that engineer is kind Enough to let me be his guest Blue railroad train A good old pal to me Take me everywhere I wanna go Get my transportation free

Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me Like all along I've been learning how to live Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin Looking back on my life now at some of the things I done Makes me wanna hang my head in shame I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down

Lay me down easy Lay me down hard Light my cigarette and make my bed Somewhere beneath the stars I was born a blue child Of the wild western sky But I left my prairie home Found a boxcar for to ride Now I'm way down in Okema Earning blisters on my feet With my guitar and my buck knife Thumbing down Woody Guthrie Street So lay me down easy Lay me down hard Light my cigarette and make my bed Somewhere beneath the stars Don't look for me in glory Don't look for me below 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight Where the souls of ramblers go And there's a sadness that follows Most everywhere I roam You can see it on my smile You can smell it on my clothes Sometimes all that running It never lasts too long So keep me good and loaded And I'll keep singing songs Lay me down easy Lay me down hard Light my cigarette and make my bed Somewhere beneath the stars Don't look for me in glory Don't look for me below 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight Where the souls of ramblers go If I don't leave here tomorrow I believe I'll blow out my brains But either way there'll be sorrow And you won't be seeing me again Lay me down easy Lay me down hard Light my cigarette and make my bed Somewhere beneath the stars Don't look for me in glory Dont look for me below 'Cause I'll be riding on that freight Where the souls of ramblers go

When I was a little boy back in West Virginia We lived very close to a railroad track And I remember I used to dream about them trains And where they might go And the people that worked on the trains And the train made music, it made you feel good I can remember sometimes I could just stand off all by myself And just get funky listenin' to the train And I used to pick up a handful of gravels And throw 'em down on the ground for ties Yeah, and I'd make up songs, I'd sing He was a railroad man He was a railroad man He was a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train He rode across the plains He rode on a fruit freight train The hauled bananas to Savannah And wore bandannas made in old Japan He was a railroad man He was a railroad man And a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train He used to change his name To every place he came You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas And Bangor when he went to Maine And a railroad man No, he was a railroad man And a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train Used to change his name To every place he came You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas And Bangor when he went to Maine He rode across the plains He rode on a fruit freight train The hauled bananas to Savannah Wore bandannas made in old Japan And he was a railroad man He was a railroad man Oh, a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train Used to change his name To each and every place he came His name was Tex when he's in Texas And Bangor when he went to Maine You know, he was a good time railroad man Good time railroad man Oh, a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train It's alright Say you know it's alright If you've ever been downtown You know what I'm talkin' 'bout You know, he was a good time railroad, road Good time railroad man Oh, a railroad man 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train He used to change his name To each and every place he came You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas And Bangor when he went to Maine He rode across the plains He rode, he rode on a fruit freight train The hauled bananas to Savannah And wore bandannas made in old Japan Oh, railroad man Oh, railroad man Oh, railroad man Stepped in front of the railroad train

Did you ever have that feeling in your life, that someone was watching you? He don't have no reason, that's right. But, still he's there watching you. Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away. Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away. But, you don't know why he's been waiting. But, you don't know why he's been waiting. Spent too much time anticipating. Spent too much time anticipating. Did you ever think it could be you, that's just outside the door? There's just one way to find out if it's true. So, what you waiting for? Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad. If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad. But, who wasn't there that you should look out for? But, who wasn't there that you should look out for? Get back inside your wall, and shut the door. Get back inside your wall, and shut the door. You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody, You're better off by yourself. You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad, You're better off by yourself. You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody, You're better off by yourself. You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad, You're better off by yourself. Ahhhhh ...
