Turned my back on my baby in the cold Kentucky rain
I heard that whistle blowin' and i just had to walk away
He would've made a good husband i guess that's why i couldn't stay
That's just me wrecking the train
Oh i turned up my bottle and poured his memory down
I took a hard look at my bible almost made me turn around
Then that moon started shining casting shadows of doubt
That's just me wrecking the train
Just when things are going my way
That need for rambling gets rolling thru my veins
Don't try to change me no i ain't gonna change
Solo
Now my baby's far behind me, big muddy's running high
I know he'll never find me I've waved my last goodbye
And the stars they're a smilin' cause they know the reason why
That's just me wrecking the train
Just when things are going my way
That need for rambling gets rolling thru my veins
Everything behind me going up in flames
That's just me wrecking the train
