Artist/Band: Holly Williams
Lyrics for Song: Railroads
Lyrics for Album: The Highway [2013]



Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid

Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid

Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame

Daddy was a-riding on the old death train



I had me a woman but she took my kid

When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still

Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask

This train done departed and it's goin' fast



Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding

aeroplane on a sunny day

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a

narrow line with a life like mine

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me



I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice

I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife

She never knew her mama or the money I've known

Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown



You never walked in my shoes, you never understood

Why I was escaping anyway that I could

Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails

'Til the dark comes over this prison cell



Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding

aeroplane on a sunny day

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a

narrow line with a life like mine

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me



Well, the truth came out and the church burned down

Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town

I'm out here searching for that boy of my own

Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown



Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding

aeroplane on a sunny day

And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me

So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a

narrow line with a life like mine

And you'll never see any boy as brave as me

Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me



Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
