Long Black Train Lyrics

Allison Moorer

(allison moorer/doyle primm)
Ive been walking these mean streets
Hard concrete beneath my feet
Aint found a friendly face among the crowd
The citys like a christmas tree
A light for every dreamers dream
But it seems mine has finally burned out
Long black train, take me home
Ive worn out my welcome here, its time to go
I have to face the music, this just aint where I belong
Long black train, take me home
I shouldve known I was mistaken
When I thought that Id be making
A name for myself in babylon
Though Ive tried to do my best
The suit and ties are not impressed
So with whats left of my pride, Ill carry on
Long black train, take me home
Ive worn out my welcome here, its time to go
I have to face the music, this just aint where I belong
Long black train, take me home
Im gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I know Im licked, but its hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back
Long black train, take me home
Ive worn out my welcome here, its time to go
I have to face the music, this just aint where I belong
Long black train, take me home
Long black train, take me home
