[Verse 1]
Ya the wind it swept in through the trees like a train through this old town
Now that everybodies gone that heartaches come a around.
Ya tonight the moon just will not shine.and I can t see the stars.
I got nothing to think about except this broken heart.
[Verse 2]
Well the one I love has gone away cause she could not be true. So I packed some things took off that ring,
and put on them walking shoes. I headed out the door like I done before but this time with a plan.
I m gonna pick some tunes by the light of the moon just a roaming round this land.
[Chorus]
And I ll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I m a ramblin on
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I m a heading to your town.
And I ll sing you a song play all night long but I can t stick around.
[Verse 3]
Another town gone, another lonely song, another endless mile. Now I can always stay and change my ways but
that just aint my style. And you can tempt me with an eternity of love and gold sunshine. But In the end
I m my only friend and I ll tell you one more time.
[Chorus]
That I ll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I m a ramblin on
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I m a heading to your town.
And I ll sing you a song play all night long but I can t stick around.
[Verse 4]
I guess I ll keep on walking and hoping on these old trains. Cause with my six string and without that ring
I aint got no complaints. And I d love to spend another night with everyone of you. But I love the feel
of a rumblin steel and I gotta push on through.
[Chorus]
And I ll be that wayward drifter walking down the railroad tracks. Lord if I get gone I m a ramblin on
and I aint looking back. From the switch yard with this old guitar I m a heading to your town.
And I ll sing you a song play all night long but I can t stick around.
