Railroad Lady

Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffett

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

[Verse 1]
South Station in Boston to the stockyards 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 days on the train
She's a semi-good looker, but the fast rails, they took her
Now she's trying, just trying to get home again

[Verse 2]
Once a high-balling loner thought he could own her
He bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
But she hocked him for cold cash, left town on the Wabash
Never thinking, never thinking of home way back then

But the rails are now rusty, the dining car's dusty
The gold-plated watches have taken their toll
The railroads are dying and the lady is crying
On a bus to Kentucky and home, that's her goal

[Chorus]
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spending her days on a train
Once a pullman car trapper, now a brakeman won't have her
She's trying, just trying to get back home again
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
