(allison moorer/doyle primm) I've been walking these mean streets Hard concrete beneath my feet Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd The city's like a christmas tree A light for every dreamer's dream But it seems mine has finally burned out Long black train, take me home I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong Long black train, take me home I should've known i was mistaken When i thought that i'd be making A name for myself in babylon Though i've tried to do my best The suit and ties are not impressed So with what's left of my pride, i'll carry on Long black train, take me home I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong Long black train, take me home I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket Then climb aboard and ride you down the track I know i'm licked, but it's hard to admit it Maybe someday you can bring me back Long black train, take me home I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong Long black train, take me home Long black train, take me home
