Lyrics

A Kentucky boy with a Hoosier name
Lost his ticket on a moving train
He's back in town with a check and a cane
And Willie really ain't the same
Number twenty-two on the hometown team
Catcher's hands and big league dreams
A wandering notion curdled his cream
And Willie really ain't the same
Willie Perdue was a gentle soul
Loved to watch them boxcars roll
The kind of man you'd like to know
Yeah, Willie really ain't the same
Hopped a car one August night
Back in the corner out of the light
Three young punks were looking for a fight
And Willie really ain't the same
Roving jackals taste of blood
Crack of steel and painful thud
Out of the car and into the mud
Willie really ain't the same
They say this land's a big fine place
You can get lost without a trace
On the back of the road with blood on your face
And Willie really ain't the same
Can't get over the way things are
Willie really could have been a star
On a box of Wheaties, a big old car
Willie really ain't the same
Guess that's just the way things go
Willie really could have owned the show
He lives downtown and talks too slow
Yeah, Willie really ain't the same
Willie Perdue was a gentle soul
The kind of man you'd like to know
Loved to watch them boxcars roll
Willie really ain't the same
Willie really ain't the same
Willie really ain't the same
Willie really ain't the same
