Railroad Man

Feel like an old railroad man Ridin' out on the bluemont line Hummin' along old dominion blues Not much to see and not much left to lose And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but I'll know how to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And I guess I may never understand The times that I live in are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Getting on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now, this train is just too slow And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but I'll know how to find my way back
