Downbound Train
(专辑: Born In The U.S.A. - 1984)
I
had a
job, I
had a
girl I
had something going mister in this world I
got laid off down at the
lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Now I
work down at the
carwash Where all it ever does is rain Don't you feel like you're a
rider on a
downbound train She just said "Joe I
gotta go We had it once we ain't got it any more" She packed her bags left me behind She bought a
ticket on the
Central Line Nights as I
sleep, I
hear that whistle whining I
feel her kiss in the
misty rain And I
feel like I'm a
rider on a
downbound train Last night I
heard your voice You were crying, crying, you were so alone You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home Put on my jacket, I
ran through the
woods I
ran till I
thought my chest would explode There in the
clearing, beyond the
highway In the
moonlight, our wedding house shone I
rushed through the
yard, I
burst through the
front door My head pounding hard, up the
stairs I
climbed The
room was dark, our bed was empty Then I
heard that long whistle whine And I
dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried Now I
swing a
sledge hammer on a
railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the
rain Now don't it feel like you're a
rider on a
downbound train
