Ridin’ along the rail

Just a bum..
You are one..
but you’re part owner of the sun
and you keep ridin along the rail
there is nuthin else left to fail
when you are ridin along ridin along ridin along the rail

Lonely Life…
Pitch black night…
That damn train is outta sight
and you are walkin along the rail
there’s nuthin else left to fail
and you are walkin along walkin along walkin along the rail

Now there’s nothin left to eat
You’re no longer on your feet
But that train whistle sounds so sweet
and you are crawlin’ along the rail
there’s nuthin else left to fail
you are crawlin along crawlin along crawlin along the rail

Your strength is gone
and all along
You knew the ending to this song
and you are dying along the rail
there’s nuthin else left to fail
you are dyin along dyin along dyin along the rail
