Darlin', now I'm miles away from where I long to be

Now there's too much distance keeping you from me

I lie awake most every night to the locomotive's wail

And my heart heads back down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail

I see your face before me whenever I'm alone

I hear your voice implore me: don't leave me on my own

It hurts so much to realise I was the one to fail

Now I'll be right back down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail

Every time I think on you and all the things you are

I wish this lonely bed of mine was a rockin' railroad car

They could pack me up and post me, I'd be your express male

And roll right back down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail 

I see your face before me whenever I'm alone

I hear your voice implore me: don't leave me on my own

It hurts so much to realise I was the one to fail

And I'll be right back down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail.
