Railroad Man

I haven't let my hair down in a while Since it caught fire in the coals I turned around and walked a back road mile With all the ashes in my soul I haven't felt a cold dawn in a while Long time they were all I knew Been holdin' on to a newborn child Whose eyes are askin' after you Oh railroad man I've been trying to stand Where the morning stars might fall Oh railroad man Will you do what you can To remember me at all To remember me at all And if you're lookin' I might warn you These tears don't leave an easy trail I cut my heart out of my calico sleeve And I put it up for sale Oh railroad man I've been trying to stand Where the morning stars might fall Oh railroad man Will you do what you can To remember me at all To remember me at all
