She´s a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her days on the train
She´s a semi-good looker
But the fast rails, they took her

Now she´s trying, just trying
To get home again

South Station in Boston
To the stockyards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine
To the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs
Have taken the best tracks
She´s trying, just trying
To get back home again

She´s a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her days on the train
Once a Pullman Car traveler
Now the switchman won´t have her
She´s trying, just trying

To get home again

Once a high-balling loner
Thought he could own her
And he bought her a fur coat
And a big diamond ring
But she hocked them for cold cash
In a town on the Wabash
Never thinking, never thinking
Of home way back then

But the rails are now rusty
And the dining car´s dusty
The gold-plated watches
Have taken their toll
And the railroads are dying
And the lady is crying
On a bus to Kentucky

And home, that´s her goal

She´s a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her days on the train
She´s a semi-good looker
But the fast rails, they took her
Now she´s trying, just trying
To get home again

On a bus to Kentucky and home
Once again
