The railroad tracks take me back to a time where I couldn't sleep
Cause I know I gotta get goin' back home
It's been so long since I've been gone
My life's been such a sad sad song, and
I think I know my own fate
And I'm down, there's no coming down
I wanna go home, but I know I just can't turn around
Been traveling so long and I just keep on heading South
There's no coming down, there's no coming down
Read all the signs and I've made up my mind, now I know
Times I went fast, wish I'd taken the time to go slow
There's no coming down, there's no coming down
I wrote my girl out West, said I wish that she'd just let me come home
She wrote me back said she wish I'd just leave her alone
There's no coming down, there's no comin' down
There's no coming down, there's no comin' down
