Cory Morrow - Texas Bound Train lyrics

Well I waited all night by the railroad tracks Hopin’ that train would come soon I got two more smokes, half a bottle of scotch Man I ain’t got too much to lose Now I toss slop at a local truck stop In a town just out of Pittsburg P-A I make $2.25 but I still ain’t alive Lord, I need a Texas bound train Yeah I gotta find a Texas bound train Take me, I wanna go I wanna see where that Red River Flows Steel wheels burnin’ into the night Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride On a midnight ride On a midnight ride It’s a long trip down them railroad tracks To Texas I’ve never seen I’ve heard stories been told ‘Bout old men and their oil

How they lost their riches and dreams Now the angels came down in my dreams last night While outside it was stormin’ rain There was a rhythm of drops beatin’ on the rooftops The angels sang of the train Sang, You gotta find a Texas bound train Take me, I wanna go I wanna see where that Red River Flows Steel wheels burnin’ into the night Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride On a midnight ride Take me, I wanna go I wanna see where that Red River Flows Darlin,’ steel wheels burnin’ into the night Take this cowboy home on a midnight ride On a midnight ride On a midnight ride Ooooo-ooo
