Train To Birmingham (Live)

(album: Happiness And All The Other Things - 2009)

I've been riding on this train
Drinking whiskey for my pain
Another good ol' boy headed home

And every town I see
Wants to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam

Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham

I walked holes in both my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for my remedy

It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee

Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham

Well every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feeling in my bones

I never get to Birmingham
But getting there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of going home

Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
On the train to Birmingham
