(alan rose, don helms)



One day the train was passing, i caught it comin' by

To look this old world over, under god's blue sky

My darlin' stood there weepin' as i was lookin' back

I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when i get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track



I like to keep on goin', it helps me when i'm blue

I get the urge to travel, that's all i want to do

I know i just can't settle down because i like to roam

And when i hear that whistle blow i gotta move along



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when i get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track



I know my baby loves me, i love my baby too

But she don't understand me when i'm feelin' blue

And when i hear that whistle blow i hurry home to pack

And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, i guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when i get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track
