lyrics
I hop the Nashville line, I’m headed for the music city now,
with a head full of steam and an eye for any but this town,
put my ear to the track and hope my savior comes,
to deliver me from a blood-red, setting sun.
And slowly I will tip my cap to the future I almost had,
and I wonder, will I dream of home, and a girl I used to know?
I hear the whistle blowin’ terse, it begs for home,
not the voice of a friend, but a voice I’ve yet to know.
And as she rattles close, the ground shakes like a kid with a fever high,
put my back to the sun and the day that’s about to die.
And slowly my fingers unfurl, take the hand of that railyard girl,
and I wonder, will I dream of home, and a girl I used to know?
Handed her my guitar and she helped me in,
swung my feet into the car, that sweetest apple sin,
and she knows her way to Nashville, oh she knows it good,
and in the darkness holds me close like only darkness could.
And slowly the heartbeat next to mine keeps a downbeat and I’m feelin’ fine
and I wonder, will I dream of home, and a girl I used to know?
and I wonder, will I dream of home, and a girl I used to know?
