She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spendin' her days on the trains
She's a semi-good looker but the fast rails they took her
Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
South Station in Boston to the freightyards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the railpacks has taken the best tracks
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spendin' her life on a train
Once a pullman car traveller now the brakeman won't have her
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
Once a high ballin' loner he thought he could own her
Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
She hocked 'em for cold cash, left town on the Wabash
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
But the rails are now rusty, the dinin' car's dusty
Gold plated watches have taken their toll
Yeah, the railroads are dyin' and the lady she's cryin'
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spendin' her life on a train
She's a semi-good looker but the fast rails they took her
Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
Yes, on a bus to Kentucky and home once again
