Railroad Man

I 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 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 long 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

Gettin' 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 know how to find my way back
