Long Black Train Lyrics - Singles - Allison Moorer

I've been walking these mean streets 

Hard concrete beneath my feet 

Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd 

The city's like a Christmas tree 

A light for every dreamer's dream 

But it seems mine has finally burned out 

[Chorus] 

Long black train, take me home 

I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go 

I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong 

Long black train, take me home 

I should've known I was mistaken 

When I thought that I'd be making 

A name for myself in Babylon 

Though I've tried to do my best 

The suit and ties are not impressed 

So with what's left of my pride, I'll carry on 

[Chorus] 

I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket 

Then climb aboard and ride you down the track 

I know I'm licked, but it's hard to admit it 

Maybe someday you can bring me back 

[Chorus] 

Long black train, take me home
