Railroad Man

(专辑： Seeds - 1973)

I was running down the track
Tract in my hand
Want to give my tract to a railroad man
Railroad man running fast as he can
He don't wanna see the tract
I'm holding in my hand

You know I sat down on the corner
And I started to cry
Railroad man is a-fixing to die
I couldn't help myself
I just broke down and cried
The day I heard my railroad man died
Yes, he died, railroad man

Only one time running
His train done broke
Blew up all his money
On a mystical smoke
On a one way trip
Shooting down the line
Trying so hard to find
Just a little peace of mind

You know I sat down on the corner
And I started to cry
Railroad man is a-fixing to die
I couldn't help myself
I just broke down and cried
The day I heard my railroad man died
Yes, he died, railroad man

Well, you say you are a linesman
You say you're all alone
You say you got no reason
For ever going home
Well, if you hadn't lost your mind
Gone deaf, dumb and stone blind
You'd know that Jesus has been calling
For a long, long time

I don't want no more corners
I don't want no more cry
I don't wanna hear
About the day you died
Don't you know that you're my brother
So take me by the hand
Walk along right by my side
Until you understand

Don't you know that you're my brother
So take me by the hand
Walk along right by my side
Until you understand
Won't you take my hand, oh, railroad man

Oh, railroad man
Mm-hmm, my railroad man
Mm-hmm, yeah, railroad man
Mmm, take my hand, railroad man
