Down by the Railroad-Tracks - 2023
VERSE
A7 D7 G7 E7
I was walking’ down by the railroad tracks
A7 D7 G7 E7
When I saw you on the other side.
A7 D7 G7 E7
You were drinkin all that fine champagne
A7 D7 G7 E7
Didn’t bother to pick up a dime
Always chasing that brand new thing
Never knowing where your mama’s been
In this town where you pay to play
Got some money, then there’s no delay
BRIDGE
B7 Em7
Well I ain't running from the law
A7 D7
Don’t know a lawyer I could call
B7 Em7
And you won’t see me on the six o-clock news
A7 D7
Ain’t no money singing these blues
VERSE
I was walking’ down by the railroad tracks
When I saw you on the other side.
A brand new logo and a fine new shirt
They say the financials are lookin’ divine
You be living up in them clouds
Built a castle with a master view
Monetizing them made up stories
All the pictures and the bluegrass music too
BRIDGE
I ain’t drinking your whiskey
Stickin’ to the Cuban rum
I ain’t playing all those silly games
Gonna sing these songs in the sun.
VERSE
I was walking’ down by the railroad tracks
When I saw you on the other side.
Sirens blaring and a police car
Looks like you get your very last ride
You can live up in them phony clouds
Fly a rocket to the moon
Sell some sucker a brand new dream
Sooner or later it’s all coming down
BRIDGE
Well I ain't running from the law
Don’t know a lawyer I could call
And you won’t see me on the six o-clock news
Ain’t no money singing these blues
CODA VERSE
I was walking’ down by the railroad tracks
When I saw you on the other side.
You were drinkin all that fine champagne
Now you’re doing, some long long time
With your minions and henchmen too
Don’t you worry, I’ll be singing the blues
Don’t you worry, I’ll be singing the blues
