End of the Railroad Line
mp3–>> Link

When I was a young boy
my daddy said to me
son you need to hear these words
they can keep you free
see some folks they will wander
town to town from time to time
so never do get married
at the end of the railroad line

you can fool the breakman
the locomotive engineer
but when you reach the steel rails end
one thing you should fear
don’t plant your feet on stony ground
or spend one thin dime
and never do get married
at the end of the railroad line

the years run by like a hellbound train
on the wrong side of the tracks
and when you bind that final tie
you never can turn back
don’t cast your fate to fortune
poverty or crime
and never do get married
at the end of the railroad line

I sit tonight in old Key West
At a stool on Angela Street
A bottle of bread is my best friend
the old voice still calls to me
there is no steel rail singing
just the sirens lullaby
do never give your heart away
at the end of the railroad line.
