RAIL
Written by Reid Jamieson
& Carolyn V. Mill
Put your ear to the rail,
You can hear my love come down
Where hearts and heroes fail,
I won't be turned around
Sleepwalking these rails,
I let the grass grow long
Oh my memory fails,
And I forgot my song
Black berries grow wild,
Smell of pitch in the sun
Weeds roll over my mind,
And they almost won
But I said - No more, No more,
No more, No more
No more, No more,
No more, No more
Put your ear to the rail,
You can hear my love come down
Where hearts and heroes fail,
I won't be turned around
Tearing up these weeds,
Blow the smoke in my stack
Sound of steel on Steel,
And there's no going back
Got a head full of coal,
Hear the lightning crack
Light a fire in my soul,
Get me back on track
Put your ear to the rail,
You can hear my love come down
Where hearts and heroes fail,
I won't be turned around
No more driving this blind,
time to throw that switch
Drives a spike in my mind,
Makes my fingers itch
You better get on board,
Or get out of my way
Hauling heavy and slow,
But I'm leaving today
No more, No more,
No more, No more
No more, No more,
No more, No more
And I know that Ive been here before
And it's taken it's toll on me
But I'm not giving up anymore
No I'm not giving up on me.
