Lyrics

I used to work for the New Jersey Railroad
I got laid off 'cause the times weren't good
My unemployment is sixty-five dollars
And sixty-five dollars don't buy what it should
I've got a weakness for eighty-proof whiskey
Lately I'm drinking a bottle a day
Messing my mind up, Lord, it's wrecking my body
But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away
I used to be a railroad man and I'm damn proud of it too
I did more work in a working day than any two men could do
The foreman said I drank too much, I said that's just halfway true
I drink half as much as my daddy did and twice as much as you
I used to have me a good-looking woman
Loved her and kept her and called her my own
She started packing when I started drinking
Now I'm drunk and I'm busted and I'm here all alone
I used to be a railroad man and I'm damn proud of it too
I did more work in a working day than any two men could do
The foreman said I drank too much and at last I know it's true
But I'm too far gone to change now, ain't nothing I can do
