Lyric Smoke Along The Track

(Alan Rose, Don Helms)

One day the train was passing, I caught it comin by
To look this old world over, under God s blue sky
My darlin stood there weepin as I was lookin back
I kissed my baby cryin in the smoke along the track

Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there s something down the track
It s callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that s just the way
I ll always be
Now when I get this feelin
Don t try to hold me back
I ll only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track

I like to keep on goin , it helps me when I m blue
I get the urge to travel, that s all I want to do
I know I just can t settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along

Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there s something down the track
It s callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that s just the way
I ll always be
Now when I get this feelin
Don t try to hold me back
I ll only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track

I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too
But she don t understand me when I m feelin blue
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack
And kiss my baby cryin in the smoke along the track

Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, there s something down the track
It s callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that s just the way
I ll always be
Now when I get this feelin
Don t try to hold me back
I ll only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track
