Train to Birmingham
I've been riding on this train
Drinking whiskey for the pain
Another good ol' boy going home
And every town I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
I got holes in both my shoes
And a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for a remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee?
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
Well every year I ride this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there's not the plan
I just like the feel of going home
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
Drinking whiskey for the pain
Another good ol' boy going home
And every town I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
I got holes in both my shoes
And a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for a remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee?
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
Well every year I ride this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there's not the plan
I just like the feel of going home
WELL I CRY WHEN I HAVE TO
AND I LIE WHEN I CAN
BUT I DIE A LITTLE SLOWER
ON THE TRAIN TO BIRMINGHAM
