Down the Line

I don't want to trample the moments we've had
But staring out the window has never felt so bad
I hate to leave you and this life behind
But I gotta get a move on along down the life

I'll put me on a train, I'll send me out west
I'll lay down in a boxcar if I ever need to rest
Spend no more long nights and home just a-crying
'Stead I'll get myself along a little farther down the line

Don't know if I'm running, don't know if I can
Sometimes, Mama, I don't even think I can stand
Maybe I'm just searching for something divine
But I ought to keep searching a little farther down the line

This old railroad town ain't been much good to me
It's just train tracks and boxcars as far as the eye can see
These days, Mama, I'm wishing I was blind
Guess all I can do is move farther down the line

I used to walk this earth like a giant of a man
But something's just come along and foiled all my plans
I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be fine
I'll just run away a while a little farther down the line
