Railroad Head Lyrics

Another mountain becones
One more stop to go
I am coming home at last
To the girl that I love so
I hope she'll be there waiting
At the railroad head
Near the place we parted
When I left her bed
The train that took me westward
And another life to find
Now brings me homeward bound at last
To the love I left behind
I hope she'll be there waiting
At the railroad head
Or has she gone and changed her mind
And found another bed.

I think of her each morning
To start another day
She's always there upon my mind
She's never far away
The time has passed forever
I've been away these years
I've many scars upon my mind
That ended up in tears
I've travelled wide and seen the world
A troubled place to be
A simple life is all I want
Her shadow close to me
I wonder if she'll be there At the railroad head
It was here we parted
When I left her bed

The train draws in the station
It's just a lonely place
As the steam was lifting
I saw a lonely face
Many years have passed since then
We've built a love to last
The bad times when we first met
Are way back in the past

Solo
We have all the memories now
A life that's rich with fun
Together now forever more
Two lives rolled into one
Found my roots and found my love
No urge to travel far
Settled down outside of town
No more a roving star
In those years of troubled times
Her memories saw me through
I've got a job and built our lives
It was the least that I could do
The girl I left behind me
Was at the railroad head
Standing there with open arms
A welcome to her bed
