I Don’t Wanna Ride the Rails No More

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been hoppin' freight trains all my life
I woke up cold and hungry, in the middle of the night
I've been on the wrong end of a drunkard's night
And nowhere to send the letters that I write
And I'll bet I've seen most every single town
But never stopped quite long enough to ever hang around
'Cause that whistle makes a mighty lonesome sound
It's been on my mind, I'd love to settle down

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more

[Verse 2]
The train's pullin' out at half past 9
The waitress said, "Hey stranger, how 'bout one more glass of wine?"
We kept talkin' and we lost all track of time
The train pulled out, left us there behind

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more

[Bridge]
For the first time in my life, I didn't run
I felt your arms around me and my rambling days were done
Somethin' changed deep inside of me
The radio played "Love Is All You Need"

[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
And I don't wanna ride the rails no more
I wanna know a woman's love worth dyin' for
Hear children playin' through an old screen door
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
No, I don't wanna ride the rails no more
