Railroad Man Lyrics by The Stray Birds

The Stray Birds

2012

I haven’t let my hair down in a while
Since it caught fire in the coals
I turned around and walked a back road mile
With all the ashes in my soul
I haven’t felt a cold dawn in a while
Long time they were all I knew
Been holdin’ on to a newborn child
Whose eyes are askin’ after you
Oh railroad man
I’ve been trying to stand
Where the morning stars might fall
Oh railroad man
Will you do what you can
To remember me at all
To remember me at all
And if you’re lookin’ I might warn you
These tears don’t leave an easy trail
I cut my heart out of my calico sleeve
And I put it up for sale
