Spendin' her days on the train
She's a semi -good looker,
but the fast rails they took her
just tryin' to get home again
to the stockyards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine
have taken the best tracks
just tryin' to get home again
Spendin' her days on the train
Once a pullin' car traveler,
now the switchman won't have her
just tryin' to get home again
Once a highball in Lauder
And he bought her a fur coat
But she hawked them for coal cash
in the town on the wall back
never thinkin' of home way back then
But the rails are now rusty
and the dining car's dusty
And the railroads are dying
Spendin' her days on the train
She's a semi -good -looker
But the fast rails they took her
Now she's tryin' and tryin'
