Artist: Willie Nelson Song: Railroad Lady She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks She's tryin', tryin' to get home again She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train Once a Pullman car traveller, the switchmen won't have her She's tryin, just tryin' to get home again Once a high ballin loner, thought he could own her he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring but she hocked them for cold cash in a town on the Wabash Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then But the rails are now rusty, and the dining cars dusty and the gold plated watches have taken their toll And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin' on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
