Lyrics Townes van Zandt - BW Railroad Blues

Im gonna lay my troubles on a railroad track

Im gonna ride I aint lookin back

Tried to stop but I cant unpack

Gotta get used to the clickety-clack

The big ol wheels and the smokin stack

Ah babe I gotta go

Babe I gotta go

Loved you honey heart and soul

I swear youre the sweetest thing I know

I loved you true and I told you so

I told you too come time to go

Ill be gone with any ol wind that blows

Ah babe I just cant stay

And its bound to be that way

Theres lots of things Id like to see

From the mountains to the shining sea

Up in the sky where the wind blows free

To the cities down below

Babe I just dont know

I got trouble, trouble in my soul

I got trouble in my soul

Im gonna lay my trouble on a railroad track

Im gonna ride, I aint lookin back

I tried to stop but I cant unpack

Go to sleep with the clickety-clack

The big ol wheels and the smokin stack

Babe Im bound to go

I got trouble in my soul

I got trouble trouble in my soul
