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
