Railroad Tracks
I am on the run
I cannot stay
Hand me the gun
And I'll be on my way
Not having me in chains
Cannot cage a bird
I wish I could explain
You'll have to take my word
Been searching for my body
A certain shade of skin
If only I can save it
From twisting in the wind
A dipper in the sky
Bloodhound on the trail
I need a place to hide
I can't afford to bail
Can you hear my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I am looking for my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I used to be a king
Can you help me understand
How I can come from that
And be three-fifths of a man
They hunt me like I'm cattle
They stalk me like I'm prey
They tell me join their battle
It's me they capture and enslave
Never oh never
Never again
Never would I ever
Endeavor to them
I see a greener pasture
Future of a different kind
Never to answer to a master
Just look out for me and mine
Can you hear my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I am looking for my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I cannot stay
Hand me the gun
And I'll be on my way
Not having me in chains
Cannot cage a bird
I wish I could explain
You'll have to take my word
Been searching for my body
A certain shade of skin
If only I can save it
From twisting in the wind
A dipper in the sky
Bloodhound on the trail
I need a place to hide
I can't afford to bail
Can you hear my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I am looking for my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I used to be a king
Can you help me understand
How I can come from that
And be three-fifths of a man
They hunt me like I'm cattle
They stalk me like I'm prey
They tell me join their battle
It's me they capture and enslave
Never oh never
Never again
Never would I ever
Endeavor to them
I see a greener pasture
Future of a different kind
Never to answer to a master
Just look out for me and mine
Can you hear my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
I am looking for my railroad tracks
I ain't ever going back
