downbound train - the smithereens lyrics

Loading...

i had a job, i had a girl
had something going, mister, in this world
i got laid off down at the yard
our love went bad, times got hard

now i work down at the car wash
where all it ever does is rain
don’t you feel like you’re a rider
on a downbound train?

she just said, “joe, i gotta go
we had it once, we ain’t got it anymore”
she packed her bags, left me behind
she bought a ticket on the central line

nights as i sleep, i hear that whistle whining
i feel her kiss in the misty rain
and i feel like i’m a rider
on a downbound train

last night, i heard your voice
you were cry-crying, oh so alone
said your love had never died
you were waiting for me at home

put on my jacket, ran through the woods
ran ’til i thought my chest would explode
there in the clearing, beyond the highway
in the moonlight, our wedding house shone

i rushed through the yard, i burst through the front door
head pounding hard, up the stairs i climbed
the room was dark, our bed was empty, then i heard that long whistle whine
and i dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

now i swing a sledgehammer
working in the pouring rain
now don’t it feel like you’re a rider
on a downbound train?
