i feel like an old railroad man ridin out on the bluemont line hummin along old dominion blues not much to see and not much left to lose and i know i can walk along the tracks it may take a little longer but i ll know how to find my way back i feel like an old railroad man who s really tried the best that he can to make his life add up to something good but this engine no longer burns on wood and i guess i may never understand the times that i live in are not made for a railroad man i feel like an old railroad man getting on board at the end of an age the station s empty and the whistle blows things are faster now and this train is just too slow and i know i can walk along the tracks it may take a little longer but i ll know how to find my way back
