Lyric BW railroad blues

by Townes Van Zandt

I m gonna lay my troubles on a railroad track
I m gonna ride I ain t lookin back
tried to stop but I can t unpack
gotta get used to the clickety-clack
the big ol wheels and the smokin stack
Ah babe I gotta go
Babe I gotta go


Loved you honey heart and soul
I swear you re the sweetest thing I know
I loved you true and I told you so
I told you too come time to go
I ll be gone with any ol wind that blows
Ah babe I just can t stay
and it s bound to be that way


There s lots of things I d like to see
from the mountains to the shining sea
up in the sky where the wind blows free
to the cities down below
Babe I just don t know
I got trouble, trouble in my soul
I got trouble in my soul


I m gonna lay my trouble on a railroad track
I m gonna ride, I ain t lookin back
I tried to stop but I can t unpack
go to sleep with the clickety-clack
the big ol wheels and the smokin stack
Babe I m bound to go
I got trouble in my soul
I got trouble trouble in my soul
