Close To The Tracks Lyrics - Singles - Greg Trooper

She lives close to the tracks 

So she never sleeps a wink 

The trains run all night 

Give her plenty time to think 

About the love that she had 

To a man brave and true 

And how that love turned bad 

The way love's bound to do 

They'd have candle light meals 

They'd drink wine from Bordeaux 

They'd make love every night 

The moon hung low 

But he stopped coming home 

He stopped paying the bills 

She had to move to this house 

By the tracks down the hill 

She'd call her mom and her dad 

But they wouldn't understand 

They'd say what did you do 

To that hard working man 

She'd call her brother down south 

But he'd never call her back 

He's got his house down a hill 

Next to his own railroad tracks 

So what happens now 

What should she do? 

She can't fall asleep 

And dream a love brand new 

Up in the air 

She sees birds and planes 

You know she'd go anywhere 

To get away from these trains
