[Chorus:]
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
She's spend her whole life on the trains
She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
South Station in Boston to the freight yards of Austin
Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
[Chorus:]
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
She's spend her whole life on the trains
She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
Once a high balling loner, he thought he could own 'er
He bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
She hocked them for cold cash
Left town on the Wabash
Not thinking, not thinking the whole way back then.
[Chorus]
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
She's spend her whole life on the trains
She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
Now the rails are all rusty and the dining car's dusty
The gold plated watches have taken their toll
Them railroads are dying, and the lady sits crying
On a bus to Kentucky now, and a home that's her goal
[Chorus]
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
She's spend her whole life on the trains
She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
