"This is a song I wrote way back in 2006. It's for a gal I used to know." - Bob

lyrics

STEEL RAIL BLUES
One of these days, I'm gonna ride that train
Just to see where it takes me
For lately I've been thinking that maybe
Anywhere's a better place to be

I'd send a letter to my baby
But I've been away too long
I'd be a fool to think she'd wait for me
I know she's done gone and moved on

It pains me so to picture her sleeping
Softly in the arms of another
Does she dream the dreams she dreamed with me
When I was her lover?

In my dreams her arms unfold before me
Open wide, willing, ready and waiting
To embrace me, and to take me
To her heart and console me
Keep me far from lonely

Them steel rails, they're crying
Calling out for me to ride 'em
Maybe that long, lonesome train
Will take me home again
Maybe that long, lonesome train
Will take me home again.
