Railroad Lady Lyrics - Willie Nelson

She's a railroad lady 

Just a little bit shady 

Spending her days on a train 

She's the semi good looker 

But the fast rails they took her 

Now she's trying just trying 

To get home again 

South station in Boston 

To the stockyards of Austin 

From the Florida sunshine 

To the New Orleans rain 

Now that the rail packs 

Have taken the best tracks 

She's trying just trying 

To get back home again

She's a railroad lady 

Just a little bit shady 

Spending her days on a train 

Once a pullin' car traveler 

Now a breakmen won't have her 

She's trying just trying 

To get home again 

Once a high-balling loner 

Thought he could own her 

And he bought her a fur coat 

And a big dimaond ring 

But she hung in for cold cash 

Left down on the Wabash 

Never thinking never thinking 

Of home way back then 

Photos 

But the rails are now rusty 

And the dining car's dusty 

The gold plated watches 

Are taking their gold 

The railroads're dying 

And the lady is crying 

On a bus to Kentucky 

And home that's her goal 

She's a railroad lady... 

On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
