"Railway Road" Lyrics

I was raised near the tracks in a lonely part of town
And I worked on the line until they closed the station down
And I watched as the streets filled with the ghosts of poor men's dreams
But I held on to hope that one day I'd finally leave

Oh, this world can be deceiving
There's no change from day to day
When there's nothing to believe in
Hope slips away

So come on, baby
Oh, believe me when I say to you that lately
Girl, I've been so low
And I can't face it
I've been waiting for the day that someone takes me
Far away from Railway Road

All the years that I fought just to gain control
Of this life that I've bought, yeah, for the price of my own soul

Oh, this world can be deceiving
There's no change from day to day
When there's nothing to believe in
Hope slips away

So come on, baby
Oh, believe me when I say to you that lately
Girl, I've been so low
And I can't face it
I've been waiting for the day that someone takes me
Far away from Railway Road

Oh, this world can be deceiving
There's no change from day to day
When there's nothing to believe in
Hope slips away

So come on, baby
Oh, believe me when I say to you that lately
Girl, I've been so low
And I can't face it
I've been waiting for the day that someone takes me
Far away from Railway Road
