…may dream, the railroads are gone
The ties they are rotten
And the tracks shot to hell
Along with my dreams and the old railroad…

She got the four year waiting list in demand
I met this skank, her name was May
She used to blow my home boy DJ Clay (What up…

She was missin' teeth like my homie Lay Lo
She liked to bone in front of the window
So all her neighbors…

She fell off hard, should've seen it my way

Pouring rain had grounded all the planes out of Louisville, Kentucky
So I bought me a railway ticket, I had to close a deal in…
New Orleans
When a hobo by the track said he was going to ride the rails to Arizona
I had to fight the tears that weld up in…
…car and a house a good 'ol job in the suburbs of St. Louis
And the woman in the gateway to the west she made me everything I am
But my…

…just not the same
Dreams are few and far between
But mem'ries seldom fail
Waiting down there by the track
For her master to…
On where he'd be from day to day
The jungle or the jail
But when the snow was falling down
He'd catch a California bound…
With that little dog to keep him warm
Old "Queen of the Rails"
The black smoke choo choo's gone away
Bumming, it's just not the same
Dreams…

…teardrops and desires
Two half-broken people heading west
Shared a motel room and killed a little emptiness
Morning came too soon, on the way
To California…
…ancient Spaniards sail
Made Guthrie ride the rails
Oh, California
That highway to freedom became a
Sweet lost weekend…
…for me and you
A detour through the mountains up to Santa Fe
With nothing much to do
You said you're starting over in LA
Now that he's cut you…

And if I didn't go
I believe I'd blow my stack
I love you baby
But you must understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man…

…pain when my brain has something to write down
Trapped in a model ship and I'm Hal Nine Thou
A monolithic sun going blind from the…
…bright sound
You don't need to look far to find the right cow
Head shot from nowhere now it's time to lie down
In the field of dreams…
…dry now
Spam box full with a list of my dying pals
Who all swallowed pride and tried to ride the rails
And left the world hollow…

Rolling like a train
Still I'd ride the rails for you
To hell and back again
Heartache's a lonely path
That pulls you 'round the…
I'll follow you
When my work is done
Hardships and broken dreams
Is all you've ever known
Trying to make a better life…
And call this house a home
High winds and broken clouds
The angels must have cried
When they saw you gaze at me
With the loving in your eyes…

Jamie's gone away
to cross the widest plain
Find some undiscovered kings and princes
Jamie's jumped the train
to live bravely…
…for a day
Ride the rails in some lost romances
Infamous hobos crouch in the car
Singing along in the night
old pioneers
looking for the…
…we go
is oh, so much farther
than old Mexico
If I'm alone
I'd rather be here than home
I like to have a song to sing

I remember my first ride
All aboard the eight-o-five
Ran from Dixie to Moline
Stopped about…

H-o-o-o wa-a-h
On an iron horse to glory I did ride
H-o-o-o wa-a-h
When it felt like there was no end of the line
Holdin' on into the…

I counted every backwoods light
Lonesome whistle singin' sweet
Rhythm of the rails rock me to slee-eep

…love to settle down

And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
Hear children…

No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more

The train's pullin' out at half past 9

For the first time in my life, I didn't run…

Because I gotta do what I gotta do, because I'm up on ya
I rather be free like an eagle than the hotel california

Eyes in the back of my head, like that knife upon my neck, hah
