About the Artist
Lyrics
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me Like all along I've been learning how to live Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin Looking back on my life now at some of the things I done Makes me wanna hang my head in shame I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down
