lyrics

Lord lead me not into harm's way
For I can get there on my own
Keep me warm and keep me dry
'Til I hear that lonesome whistle cry
Make the train and then set sail
Clinging to that silver rail
I've crossed this country from coast to coast
Always pulling such a weary load

'Cause I'm a railway man
And I've strayed so far from home
No matter where I am
Such a long way left to go

See the scenery shift and change
Through towns of rust, bent stalks of grain
And from my window I can see
A hollow figure staring back at me
There's someone else behind the wheel
Telling me how to think and feel
From behind a veil pulling on my strings
I've got a restless heart but it just won't sing

'Cause I'm a railway man
And I've strayed so far from home
No matter where I am
Such a long way left to go

If I had a dollar for every time
I lost my way as the rail unwinds
This copper coin don't bring me luck
It's just a souvenir from the place I'm stuck
Lay it down upon the track
A heavy head of steam and I won't look back
Come and meet me round the bend
For I'll never set foot in this town again

'Cause I'm a railway man
And I've strayed so far from home
No matter where I am
Such a long way left to go
I took the long way round
And I won't slow down no, oh
'Cause I'm a railway man
And I've strayed so far from home
