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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Long black train, take me home --- Long Black Train - Allison Moorer
