Subway Blues

from Athena and the Moon by Tommy Crawford

/

about

Well I'm waiting on that subway right
Waiting on that subway right
Looking up and down to my left and all around
Been waiting on that train all night

See I woke up in the morning, m'baby was gone
Woke up in the morning, m'baby was gone
So I'm headed underground to track her all around the town
And I hope that train gone come before too long

Lord help me
I'm a wayward man
Tryin' to get through the night
And doing the best I can

Lord help me
I'm a wayward man
See me to the morning
And around the bend

Waiting on them steel rails a-hum
Waiting on them steel rails a-hum
Woke up in the morning, she'd become a Californian
Hopped a train out to the setting sun

So I strung up my guitar and packed my bags
Strung up my guitar and packed my bags
Gonna chase her cross the land with my banjo pickin' band
Play a country tune and win her back

Lord help me
I'm a wayward man
Tryin' to get through the night
And doing the best I can

Lord help me
I'm a wayward man
See me to the morning
And around the bend

Waiting on that steam whistle blow
Waiting on that steam whistle blow
Bought a bunch of flowers but they're wilting by the hours
And where that train at, ain't nobody know

See I'm gonna change my ways and do her right
Gonna change my ways and do her right
Gonna get down on my knees
Say darlin' take me back oh please

But no ways gone change if that train don't come tonight
No ways gone change if that train don't come tonight
