lirik lagu anna lynch - railroad man
[verse 1]
mama said the railroad made broken men
said i’d pay the price if i ever took to joinin’ them
but in sixteen years
i’d ’bout had enough
of plowing fields and coal dust
[verse 2}
hopped a car in the rail yard
’bout a mile down the track
wasn’t more than a second or two
when i saw him starin’ back
he said, “son‚ i know what you think you’ll find here
“but what i gotta say
“you oughta hear”
[chorus}
he said
there’s more than broken bodies on this side of the tracks
dreams come here
and they never go back
and once i had me a loving wife
but that was back in kansas
and that’s another life
[verse 3]
ten years ago
when i was just a kid
i tried to make a dollar
but dimes were all they’d give
told my loving girl that i’d be home soon
but once you’re on the railroad
making dimes is all you do
[chorus]
and he said
there’s more than broken bodies on this side of the tracks
dreams come here
and never go back
and once i had me a loving wife
but that was back in kansas
and that’s another life
[verse 4]
he said
son go back home
and don’t you go back
ain’t a life worth living
for the men who jump these tracks
[verse 5]
i looked down at his hands
stained with dirt and dust
face sunk with pain
from a life of railroad rust
[chorus]
and he said
there’s more than broken bodies on this side of the tracks
dreams come here
and never go back
so go and find yourself a loving wife
maybe move to kansas
and start another life
[chorus}
and he said
there’s more than broken bodies on this side of the tracks
dreams come here
and never go back
and once i had me a loving wife
but that was back in kansas
and that’s another life
