It's been a long life
Done a whole lot of working
Had a hard time
But I'm always learning

It's been a good life
But there's still that yearning
That's my song,
That's my song, 

Makes me wonder
But I don't think, I'm mistaken
Gotten tired now
Too much time I've wasted waiting

All alone now
Have no folks, no relations
That's my song, 
That's my song

I wish I knew
What I am and where I'm going
Tried my best
But I still ain't made my showing
   
All I know
When that freight train whistle's blowing
That's my song, 
That's my song

It's been a long life
Done a whole lot of working
Had a hard time
But I'm always learning

It's been a good life, yeah
But there's still that yearning
That's my song, 
That's my song

That's my song, 
That's my song
