Well I got my mail late last night A letter from a girl who found the time to write To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night She sent me a railroad ticket too To take me to her lovin' arms And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Well I've been out here many long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own Not a two bit bed to lay my body on I've been stood up, I've been shook down I've been dragged into the sand And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Ooooo oooo oooo whu hu hoooo Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo Well I've been up tight most every night Walkin' along the streets of this old town Not a friend around to tell my troubles to My good old car she done broke down 'Cause I drove it into the ground And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Well I look over yonder across the plain The big drive wheels a-poundin' along the ground Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound Now I ain't had a home cooked meal And Lord I need one now And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Ooooo oooo oooo whu hu hoooo Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo Now here I am with my hat in my hand Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night I went in town for one last round And I gambled my ticket away And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love Ooooo oooo oooo whu hu hoooo Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo Ooooo oooo oooo whu hu hoooo...
