Steel Rail Blues

[00:05.59] Well, I got my mail late last night
[00:08.33] A letter from a girl who found the time to write
[00:12.32] To her lonesome boy somewhere's in the night
[00:16.67] She sent me a railroad ticket too
[00:19.49] To take me to her lovin' arms
[00:21.40] And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
[00:27.40]
[00:29.91] Well, I been out here many long days
[00:33.02] I haven't found a place that I could call my own
[00:36.93] Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
[00:41.10] I been stood up, I been shook down
[00:43.69] I been dragged into the sand
[00:45.66] And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
[00:52.36] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[00:59.14] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:06.71] Well, I been uptight most every night
[01:09.78] Walkin' along the streets of this old town
[01:13.61] Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
[01:17.82] My good old car she done broke down
[01:20.44] 'Cause I drove it into the ground
[01:22.54] And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
[01:28.51] Well, I look over yonder across the plain
[01:31.55] The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground
[01:35.48] Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward-bound
[01:39.93] Now, I ain't had a home cooked meal
[01:42.66] And Lord, I need one now
[01:44.35] And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
[01:50.89] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:57.82] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:05.66] Now, here I am with my hat in my hand
[02:08.47] Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride
[02:12.35] To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
[02:16.66] I went in town for one last round
[02:19.30] And I gambled my ticket away
[02:21.37] And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love
[02:27.63] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:34.60] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:40.18] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:46.55] Ooh-ooh-ooh...
