lyrics

Well I’m down here by the tracks
With this weight across my back
And I’ll sell you this guitar that I own
If I can make my train on time
I’ll be home by tomorrow night
Because I’m 900 miles from my home

If my woman, she says so
I will run these rails no more
And I’ll sidetrack this engine by the road
But my train pulls out at 5
And I will be there right on time
And I’m 900 miles from my home

I’ve been down there in the streets
With no shoes upon my feet
And the north winds have chilled me to the bone
When I thought I’d seen your face
You just turned the other way
And now I’m 900 miles from my home

When I look up towards the sky
With these teardrops in my eyes
And I'm reading this letter from my home
Oh but I can’t go back today
And have them see me this a-way
Because I’m 900 miles from my home

Well I tried to face the facts
Once it’s gone it won’t come back
And just move a little further down the road
Oh but I can’t believe it’s true
Because there’s no one left like you
And now I’m 900 miles from my home
Yes I'm 900 miles from my home
