๐ Lyrics
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the yard
Our love went bad, and times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said, "Joe, I gotta go"
"We had it once, we ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags and left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran 'til I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, your bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees
Hung my head and cried
Now as I swing a hammer on the road, gang
Knockin' down them cross ties workin' in the rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
I had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the yard
Our love went bad, and times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said, "Joe, I gotta go"
"We had it once, we ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags and left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran 'til I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, your bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees
Hung my head and cried
Now as I swing a hammer on the road, gang
Knockin' down them cross ties workin' in the rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
