Song Lyrics

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`ll 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 longer 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
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station`s empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i`ll know
How to find my way back
