Feel like an old railroad man

Ridin' out on the bluemont line

Hummin' along old dominion blues

Not much to see and not much left to lose

And i know i can walk along the tracks

It may take a little longer but i'll know

How to find my way back



I feel like an old railroad man

Who's really tried the best that he can

To make his life add up to something good

But this engine no longer burns on wood

And i guess i may never understand

The times that i live in

Are not made for a railroad man



I feel like an old railroad man

Getting on board at the end of an age

The station's empty and the whistle blows

Things are faster now

And this train is just too slow

And i know i can walk along the tracks

It may take a little longer but i'll know

How to find my way back
