Well I got my mail late last night, a letter from a girl who found the time to write to her lonesome boy some where’s in the night. She sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to her loving arms and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love. Well I been out here many a long days, I haven't found a place that I could call my own, not a two bit bed to lay my body on. I been stood up, I been shook down and dragged into the sand and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love. Well I been up tight most every night, walking along the streets of this old town, not a friend to tell my troubles to. My good old car she done broke down cause I drove it into the ground and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love. Oooo oooo ooo wu hu hoo, ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo. Well I look over yonder across the plain, the big drive wheels are pounding along the ground, gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound. Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love. Oooo oooo ooo wu hu hoo, ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo. Now here I am with my hat in hand, standing on the broad highway, will you give a ride to a lonesome boy who missed the train last night. I went in town for one last round and I gambled my ticket away and the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love. Oooo oooo ooo wu hu hoo, ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo. Aus Songtexte Mania
