lyrics

Freight trains and strange dreams ,
Pass through in the dead of night.
Carry my load down a lonesome road,
And drop me off at daylight .
Like buttermilk and threads of silk .
A moonlight skims a pond.
When I cross that bridge,
I’ll figure out which side I should be on.

Well old bad luck just follows me,
Like a shadow in disguise,
I raise my voice and I shake my fist,
But it smacks me between the eyes.
So I shrug my shoulders and say come on.
I guess I could use a friend.
Just do me a favor ,
Don’t hang around until the bitter end.

CHORUS ‘

Now I don’t look into a mirror.
When I’ve been out all night .
It’s just too painful,
To be a witness to such a sorry sight.
And then I think ,
Did some poor fool carry me home .
No , these voices that I hear cursing me ,
Are just my own.

CHORUS

Now I’ll have a drink for my mother.
I’ll have one for my friend.
I’ll have one for that hapless soul,
Sitting down at the other end.
But when I hear the bartender,
Start to read his poems.
I know it’s time to finish up,
And find my way home.

Freight trains and strange dreams ,
Pass through in the dead of night.
Carry my load down a lonesome road,
And drop me off at daylight .
Like buttermilk and threads of silk .
A moonlight skims a pond.
When I cross that bridge,
I’ll figure out which side I should be on.
