Nobody Knew His Name
A man in a Cadillac used to come around here Looking for a long black train Said bbay left town with an inginer Streets across the midnight rain board Street across the midnight rain When he was pretty young His buddy got killed with his rifle Now he's fighting never on dawn Now he's fighting never on dawn Window begins the rain Nightt so dark, there was nothing else shown Nobody knew his name, boy Nobody knew his name Running once in a while But he would be right back With a cup of coffee and an old newspaper Sitting by the side of tha tracks, boy Crying by the side of the tracks You tryin' to keep from turning the tables I'm walking horses I would suffer dawns But there was always some whiskey back in the stable If you knew where to look around, boys SongtexteIf you knew where to look around Window begins the rain Nightt so dark, there was nothing else shown Nobody knew his name, boy Nobody knew his name And they paid for each one Yeah, it didn't matter who won Somebody gonna tip him well, boys Somebody gonna tip him well I found him in his Cadillac car Right behind an old farm store He was sitting there like we was going And he wasn't coming back no more And he wasn't coming back no more Aus Songtexte Mania
