Steel Rail Blues Lyrics - George Hamilton Iv

Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a girl who found the time to write 

To her lonesome boy somewher's in the night 

She sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to her lovin' arms 

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love 

Well I been up tight most every night walkin' around the streets of this old town 

Not a friend around to tell my troubles to 

My good old car she done broke down cause I drove it into the ground 

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love 

Well I look over yonder across that plain 

The big drive wheels a poundin' along the ground 

Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound 

Now I ain't had a home cooked meal and Lord I need one now 

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

Well here I am with my hat in my hand 

Standin' on the broad highway will you give a ride 

To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night 

I went in town for one last round I gambled my ticket away 

And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love
