Railroads Lyrics - Highway - Holly Williams

Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid 

Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid 

Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame 

Daddy was a-riding on the old death train 

 

I had me a woman but she took my kid 

When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still 

Now I drink my whisky from a beat up flask 

This train done departed and it's goin' fast 

 

Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day 

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me 

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine 

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me 

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me 

 

I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice 

I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife 

She never knew her mama or the money I've known 

Don't ever make a judgment if you ain't been shown 

 

You never walked in my shoes, you never understood 

Why I was escaping anyway that I could 

Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails 

'Til the dark comes over this prison cell 

 

Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day 

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me 

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine 

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me 

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me 

 

Well, the truth came out and the church burned down 

Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town 

I'm out here searching for that boy of my own 

Don't ever make a judgment if you ain't been shown 

 

Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day 

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me 

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine 

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me 

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me 

 

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
