The Rail Song Lyrics - Lone Rhino / Twang Bar King - Adrian Belew

I recall as a boy we would hop the freights 

Wasn't nothin' but a kick back then 

There was no better thrill for my anxious heart 

Than a long flatcar 

Headin' out of the yard 

And I knew even then she was in my blood 

Like the time when I first hired on 

And the fireman laughed at my bony nose 

But he tossed me a cap 

Said GMand O 

And I was a man 

 

I gave her my best years 

Well, what can you do but laugh 

I don't expect she'll ever be coming back 

 

When we climbed up the great Appalachians 

Her engines would be raging like hell 

Then we'd come back down to the rising towns 

Where the cattle stare 

In the frozen air 

For me there nothing more sacred 

Than the beautiful sound she'd make 

Her long blue signal blowin' deep in the night 

It would get to me there 

It would get to me there 

Now I'm afraid 

 

Afraid of these silent hours 

Awake underneath my old cap 

I don't expect she'll ever be coming back
