Long Black Train lyrics


(Allison Moorer/Doyle Primm)
I ve been walking these mean streets
Hard concrete beneath my feet
Ain t found a friendly face among the crowd
The city s like a Christmas tree
A light for every dreamer s dream
But it seems mine has finally burned out
Long black train, take me home
I ve worn out my welcome here, it s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain t where I belong
Long black train, take me home
I should ve known I was mistaken
When I thought that I d be making
A name for myself in Babylon
Though I ve tried to do my best
The suit and ties are not impressed
So with what s left of my pride, I ll carry on
Long black train, take me home
I ve worn out my welcome here, it s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain t where I belong
Long black train, take me home
I m gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I know I m licked, but it s hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back
Long black train, take me home
I ve worn out my welcome here, it s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain t where I belong
Long black train, take me home
Long black train, take me home
