Railroad Blues
(Wayne Hancock)




Livin' and lovin' that's how most folks make their way
Always look forward to goin' home everyday
Well I'd give a hundred dollars if I could be in their shoes
Lord, I'm so damn lonesome
I got them lowdown blues

Everybody's got someone and I'm all alone
I got no phone nunber, no one to call my own
Every night that lonesome whistle lets me know when 
the train's goin' by
Sometimes when I hear it
I wanna lay down and die

Old worn-out memories and a bottle of beer
Along with a lost love and a jug full of tears
Lord, I can hear that whistle whinin' when the hour is late
The Union Pacific makes its way
Across the Lone Star State

Well this is my story, I ain't playin' around
I got an old trailer on the outskirts of town
It's just me and this here guitar and a bottle of booze
Slappin' out rhythms 
And singin' the blues
