Steel Rail Blues Video (MV)

Well, I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
To a lonesome boy somewheres in the night.
She sent me a railroad ticket, too,
To take me to her lovin' arms.
The big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

Well I've been out here many long days.
I haven't found a place that I could call my own,
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on.
I been stood up I been shot down
I been dragged into the sand.
The big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

Well I been uptight most every night
Walkin' along the streets of this old town.
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to.
My good old car she done broke down
'cause I drove it into the ground.
The big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

Well I look over yonder across the plain,
The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground.
Gonna get on board, and I'll be homeward bound.
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal,
But lord I need one now.
The big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love.

Now here I am with my hat in hand,
Standin' on the broad highway will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night?
I went in town for one last round,
And I gambled my ticket away.
The big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love.
