Allison Moorer - Long Black Train

I've been walking these mean streets


Hard concrete beneath my feet


Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd


The city's like a Christmas tree


A light for every dreamer's dream


But it seems mine has finally burned out





Long black train, take me home


I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go


I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong


Long black train, take me home





I should've known I was mistaken


When I thought that I'd be making


A name for myself in Babylon


Though I've tried to do my best


The suit and ties are not impressed


So with what's left of my pride, I'll carry on





Long black train, take me home


I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go


I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong


Long black train, take me home





I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket


Then climb aboard and ride you down the track


I know I'm licked, but it's hard to admit it


Maybe someday you can bring me back





Long black train, take me home


I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go


I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong


Long black train, take me home


Long black train, take me home
