  And the big steel Amrail gonna carry me G7home

  To the one I Clove Em Am G7

F Em Am C

Refrain

Ooh ooh ooh i hi hi

  FOoh Emooh Amooh G7ooh Cooh

Well I bin out here man long days

I haven't found a place that I could call my own

Not a two bit bed to lay my body on

I bin stood up, I bin shock down

I bin dragged into the sand

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

To the one I love

Refrain

Well I bin up tight nost every night

Walkin' around the streets of this old town

Not a friend around to tell my troubles to

My old car; she done broke down

'Cause I drove it into the ground

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

To the one I love

Refrain

Well look over yonder across the plain

The big drive wheels a-poundin' along the ground

Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound

Now I aint' had a home cooked meal

And Lord I need one now

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

To the one I love

Refrain

Now here I am with my hat in my hand

Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride

To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night

I went in town for one last round

And I gambled my ticket away

And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

To the one I love

Refrain
