I am taking a train to Virginia
I am drinking and passing the time
Outside my window there's fields colored emerald
Above me there's hazy grey sky
Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
And all at once, it started raining
I looked up to curse at the sky
But the sky, she don't care much for curses
And I feel like I've lost my damn mind
Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
Won't you lay down beside me a while
Come lay down beside me and rest
My body is hurtin' from a long day of workin'
And you are the thing I love best
Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
