Wrote It Down and Burned It

There's a dead girl's body By the railroad track She's waiting for a train Jimmy left town like a fade to black In his Camero in the rain She wrote it down and burned it Jimmy loves who knows who Well he wasn't from around this town And mister neither are you She was listening into that Monon line For the Wabash Cannonball Put your head on the rail And you can hear her whine Just like a caterwaul She wrote it down and burned it She clutched it flaming to her chest It said Jimmy loves cars And Jimmy loves trains Ah but Jimmy, Jimmy loves me best There's a dead girl's body By the railroad track Waiting for a train Well I guess Jimmy never did come back In his Camaro in the rain She wrote it down and burned it Yeah the only way I know You could still read some words In the ashes there But she could not watch him go She wrote it down and burned it
