(alan rose, don helms)
One day the train was passing, I caught it comin by
To look this old world over, under gods blue sky
My darlin stood there weepin as I was lookin back
I kissed my baby cryin in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, theres something down the track
Its callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way
Ill always be
Now when I get this feelin
Dont try to hold me back
Ill only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin, it helps me when Im blue
I get the urge to travel, thats all I want to do
I know I just cant settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, theres something down the track
Its callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way
Ill always be
Now when I get this feelin
Dont try to hold me back
Ill only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track
I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too
But she dont understand me when Im feelin blue
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack
And kiss my baby cryin in the smoke along the track
Chorus:
Bye, bye, so long, theres something down the track
Its callin me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way
Ill always be
Now when I get this feelin
Dont try to hold me back
Ill only leave you cryin
In the smoke along the track
