There's a train a comin' There's a train a comin Hear them tracks a hummin' There's a train a comin' Can't you hear her blowin' Can't you hear her blowin' Wonder where she's goin' Can't you hear her blowin' Run down the station Run down to the station Dread and fascination Run down to the station Don't you want to ride her Don't you want to ride her Wonder what's inside her Don't you want to ride her She ain't bound for nowhere She ain't bound for nowhere Engineer just don't care She ain't bound for nowhere She run down the mountain She run down the mountain She won't even slow down mmm down the mountain There's a train a comin' There's a train a comin' Hear them tracks a hummin' There's a train a comin' |

I wish I'd never come back home It don't feel right since I've been grown I can't find any of my old friends hangin' 'round Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown I spent some time in New Orleans I had to live on rice and beans I hitched through Texas when the sun was beatin' down Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown CHORUS Home is where the heart is Ain't that what they always say My heart lies in broken pieces Scattered along the way So don't think about me when I'm gone I don't mind travelin' alone You are the sweetest little thing I ever found Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown |

If you see her out tonight And she tells you it's just the lights That bring her here and not her loneliness That's what she says but sometimes she forgets If she tells you she don't need a man She's had all the comfort she can stand You'd best believe every word she says But don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore So now she keeps it locked away It grows colder every day And it won't warm to any man's caress That's what she says but sometimes she forgets Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore Hey now don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets |

Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia Met Hank out in New Mexico We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa We hear that he's payin' in gold I guess a man's got to do what he's best at Ain't found nothin' better so far Been called mercenaries and men with no country Just soldiers in search of a war CHORUS And we're bound for the border We're soldiers of fortune And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay Under the flag of of the greenback dollar Or the peso down Mexico way When this war is over might go back to Georgia And settle down quiet some where I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile Heard tell there's some trouble down there |

I remember holdin on to you All them long and lonely nights I put you through Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry But I can't remember if we said goodbye CHORUS But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico One place I may never go in my life again Was I just off somewhere just too high But I can't remember if we said goodbye I only miss you here every now and then Like the soft breeze blowin; up from the Caribbean Most Novembers I break down and cry But I can't remember if we said goodbye CHORUS |

Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ames would come to some bad end
Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' chickens and such by the time that he was ten And one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill and he tucked it in his hand He said I can tell you're headed for trouble son and your momma wouldn't understand So he took that money and his brothers old bay and he left without a word of thanks Fell in with a crowd in some border town and took to robbin' banks Outside the law your luck will run out fast and a few years came and went 'Till he's trapped in an alley in Abilene with all but four shells spent And he realized prayin' was the only thing that he hadn't ever tried Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how but he looked up to the sky Said you don't owe me nothin' and as far as I know Lord don't owe nothin' to you And I ain't askin' for a miracle Lord just a little bit of luck will do And you know I ain't never prayed before but it always seemed to me If prayin' is the same as beggin' Lord I don't take no charity Yeah but right now Lord with my back to the wall Can't help but recall How they nearly hung me for stealin' a horse in Fort Smith Arkansas Judge Parker said guilty and the gavel came down just like a cannon shot And I went away quietly and I began to file and plot Well they sent the preacher down to my cell He said the Lord is your only hope He's the only friend that you gonna have When you hit the end of Parker's rope Well I guess he coulda' kept on preachin' 'till Christmas but he |

I'm the keeper of your heart
I keep the flame when we're apart I'm the lover in your arms Or a baby soft and warm I'm a hero in your eyes I'm a comfort when you cry When you hurt me I'm your fool But I'm nothin' without you (CHORUS) No I'm nothin' without you It don't matter what I do If I win or if I lose Sweetheart I'm nothin' without you I'm a beacon in the night To show the way until it's light I'm a stumbler in the dark When I can't say what's in my heart I'm a poet just the same Every time I speak your name I'm just a shadow when I'm blue But I'm nothin' without you (CHORUS) |

I'm lookin' through you where did you go
I thought I knew you what did I know You don't look different but you have changed I'm Iooking through you you're not the same Your lips are moving I cannot hear Your voice is soothing but the words aren't clear You don't sound different I've learned the game I'm looking through you you're not the same BRIDGE Why tell me why did you not treat me right Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night You're thinking of me the same old way You were above me but not today the only difference is you're down there I'm looking through you and you're nowhere |

The name she gave was Caroline The daughter of a miner And her ways were free and it seemed to me The sunshine walked beside her She come from Spencer 'coss the hill She said her Pa had sent her 'Cause the coal was low and soon the snow Would tuwn the skies to winter Well she said she'd come to look for work She was not seeking favors For a dime a day and a place to stay She'd turn those hands to labor The times were hard Lord the jobs were few All through Tecumseh Valley But she asked around and a job she found Tending bar for Gypsy Sally She saved enough to get back home When spring replaced the winter But her dreams were denied her Pa had died The word came down from Spencer She turned to whorin' out on the streets With all the lust inside her It was many a man returned again To lay himself beside her Well they found her down beneath the stairs That led to Gypsy Sally's In her hand when she died Was a note that cried Fare thee well Tecumseh Valley |
