Lyrics
I had a job, I had a girl I had something going, mister, in this world I got laid off down at the auto yard Our love went bad, times got hard Well, now I work down at the car wash Where all it ever does is rain Sometimes, don't you feel like you're a rider Only on a downbound train? She just said, "Joe, I gotta go We had it once, we ain't got it any more" She packed her bags, left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I still hear the whistle whining I feel her soft kiss in the misty morning rain Sometimes don't you feel likе you're a rider Only on a downbound train? Last night, I heard her voicе You were crying, crying, you were so alone You said your love had never died And you were waiting for me at home Well, I put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran 'til I thought my chest would explode There in a clearing beyond the highway There in the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed The room was dark, our bed was empty And then I heard that long whistle whine And then I dropped to my knees Hung my head and cried Now I swing a sledgehammer on a railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain Sometimes, don't you feel like you're a rider Only on a downbound train?
