I haven?t let my hair down in a while
Since it caught fire in the coals
I turned around and walked a back road mile
With all the ashes in my soul
verse 2
I haven?t felt a cold dawn in a while
Long time they were all I knew
Been holdin? on to a newborn child
Whose eyes are askin? after you
Oh railroad man
I?ve been trying to stand
Where the morning stars might fall
Oh railroad man
Will you do what you can
To remember me at all
To remember me at all
verse 3
If you come looking I might warn you
These tears don't leave an easy trai
I cut my heart out of my calico sleeve
And then, I put it up for sale
Oh railroad man
I?ve been trying to stand
Where the morning stars might fall
Oh railroad man
Will you do what you can
To remember me at all
To remember me at all
