Downbound Train
[Nicke] I had a job, I had a girl I had something going, mister, in this world I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Now I work down at the car wash Where all it ever does is rain Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?
[Nina] I just said, 'Joe, I gotta go We had it once, we ain't got it anymore' I packed my bags, left you behind I bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel your kiss in the misty rain And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
[Nicke] Last night I heard your voice You were crying, crying, you were so alone
[Nina] I said my love never died And I'm waiting for you at home
[Nicke] Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
[Nicke & Nina] I rushed through the yard I burst through the front door, my head pounding hard Up the stairs I climbed The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain Now, don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?
Now, don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?
Now, don't it feel (don't it feel) Like you're a rider (like you're a rider) Don't it feel like you're a rider Don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?
