Tired Old Freight Train

Girl it's been a long time--sorry to make you wait But this heart is a like a tired old freight train And it's going to take some time to unwind I've been staring out the door of this box car As the world rolls away think'n why a man wants to be lonely and loves the sky so grey And you know what babe? It's not that I don't love you. It's not that I don't care It's just everything I've been through To get to here from there I've chugged through all these hose-stop towns Climbed o'er every mountain pass A blanket of stars when the sun goes down Tucked in that mournful whistle blast With the moon as my mistress every night Sweet companion wherever I roam Thoughts travel on rails so straight and so right I am always least lonely when I am alone For thirty years --you know it was true Even the thirty --I spent with her Now all that's left I give to you And I'm sure that I'm sure that I'm sure You are my Angel from Montgomery My something to hold onto song You are that missing part of me When everything else is gone I'm gonna get back on this train tonight And travel with the big fat moon It's been this way all of my life But I'll be coming to see you soon Yeah... I'm coming to see you soon
