Sweethearts Of The Rodeo - Steel Rail Blues lyrics

Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a boy who found the time to write To his lonesome girl somewhere in the night He sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to his lovin' arms And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love I been out here many long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own Not a two bit bed to lay my body on I been stood up I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love I been up tight most every night walkin' along the streets of this old town Not a friend around to tell my troubles to My good old car she done broke down cause I drove it into the ground And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love Well I look over yonder cross the plain The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love [ harmonica ] Well I got my mail late last night...
