Lay My Head On The Rail

(album: Junky Star - 2010)

Well, I'm back on that road again
Nothing slows me down
I ain't seen a single smile
Since I left your town

All these people just keep looking 'round
Can't look him in the eye
LA's like the movies
And I'm still wondering why

I'm holding on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home

Road signs are hazy and
The miles start to unwind
But I ain't never looking back
'Cause there's nothing left behind

My fingertips are bleeding
They're right down to the bone
Can't believe I'm out again
On the high lonesome road

I'm holding on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home

The headlights are blinding and
The diesels are on fire
Hauling ass down a mountain pass
To the California state line

If you could see my bleeding feet
You might hang your head and cry
But don't you shed a tear, my dear
For I'm coming home tonight

I'm holding on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
