dusk arising

freight train

i sat beside the railroad
that great old western track
and cried my tears
for the freight train passing
to the sound of an old smokestack

       freight train take me
       away along your track
       take me someplace where
       i just don\'t care
       but dont ya ever bring me back

i see your vacant trucks
laid bare and empty
clear through all the steam
and your box cars overloaded
with this broken hearted dream  

       freight train take me
       away along your track
       take me someplace where
       i just don\'t care
       so I ain\'t never coming back
