I've got faith in my legs I trust in the chalk of my bones I'm a woman a coyote and a tumbleweed Rolling into dust at a leisurely speed Some say I've got no direction But the sun's pa**ing shadows don't point home So I ramble down the railroad in my slumber Past the truck stop diners on the road Where I can see my reflection in a greasy spoon And in the face of every waitress wishing to howl at the moon I've been sleepwalking down the tracks all night All the way from Belle River to the Cincinnatti lights Dreaming in my cap and slippers, marching down the line Never wake a sleepwalker, let her take her time There used to be monsters in my nightmares Now I see my demons in the day So I walk about the boondocks in the darkness Let the moonlit garbage lead the way I smell like engine oil and the tin-can streets But I ain't no locomotive I ain't runnin out of steam A preacher told me I was born a sinner And salvation was found in holy light But I'm soiled with a dirty mouth and a dirty mind And I hope my hands stay dirty 'til the day that I die I've been sleepwalking down the tracks all night All the way from mell river to the cincinnatti lights Sleepin in my cabin slippers marching down the line Never wake a sleepwalker, let him take his time I've been working on the railroad all the live-long day I've been working on the railroad to pa** my time away Can't you hear the whistle blowing, rise up so early in the morn Can't you hear the whistle blowing, Dinah won't you blow your horn? I've been sleepwalking down the tracks all night All the way from mell river to the cincinnatti lights Sleepin in my cabin slippers marching down the line Never wake a sleepwalker, let me take my time
