Downbound Train - The Smithereens

作曲：Bruce Springsteen

I had a job I had a girl

Had something going mister in this world

I got laid off down at the yard

Our love went bad times got hard

Now I work down at the car wash

Where all it ever does is rain

Don't you feel like you're a rider

On a downbound train

She just said Joe I gotta go

We had it once we ain't got it anymore

She packed her bags left me behind

She bought a ticket on the Central Line

Nights as I sleep

I hear that whistle whining

I feel her kiss in the misty rain

And I feel like I'm a rider

On a downbound train

Last night I heard your voice

You were cry crying oh so alone

Said your love had never died

You were waiting for me at home

Put on my jacket ran through the woods

Ran 'til I thought my chest would explode

There in the clearing beyond the highway

In the moonlight our wedding house shone

I rushed through the yard

I burst through the front door

Head pounding hard up the stairs I climbed

The room was dark our bed was empty

Then I heard that long whistle whine

And I dropped to my knees

Hung my head and cried

Now I swing a sledgehammer

Working in the pouring rain

Now don't it feel like you're a rider

On a downbound train
