Railroad Lady Todd Snider

[Chorus]
She's a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spent her whole life on a train
She was a semi-good looker
’Til the fast rails, they took her
Now she's trying, just trying to get home again

[Verse 1]
South Station in Boston
To the freight yards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs
Have taken the best tracks
She's trying, just trying to get home again

[Chorus]
She’s a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her life on a train
She's semi-good looker
'Til the fast rails, they took her
Now she's trying, just trying to get home again

[Verse 2]
Once a high-ballin' loner
Who thought he could own her
Bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
She hocked him for cold cash
Left town on the Wabash
Never thinking, never thinking of home way back then
