On The Right Track

Woke to the whistle and the smokestack

Jumped out of bed and ran on down the tracks

I saw her wave a goodbye on her lips

I can't believe that it's come to this

I got my ticket and my bags are packed

I'll hop the train to bring my baby back

Take the fast train, won't be sidetracked

Lord I hope I'm on the right track

Destination stamp was Omaha

She's heading back to see her ma and paw

I'll get down on my knees and beg a chance

Do anything to save our sweet romance

I got my ticket and my bags are packed

I'll hop a train to bring my baby back

Take a fast train won't be sidetracked

Lord I hope I'm on the right track

I'm at the door her dad with gun in hand

I beg and plead to help him understand

That I ain't leaving, I ain't backing down

He'll let me in or put me in the ground

I got a ticket and my bags are packed

I'll hop a train to bring my baby back

Take the best train, won't be sidetracked

Lord, I hope I'm on the right track
