Lyrics
Rising moon reflects off the lake
As I wear through my pair of shoes
And I realize once I reach my wake
All the holes in my parachute
So I gaze upon that silver dollar
As serene as it is grand
No I can't help but holler
Just as it commands
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
The only bottle on my shelf
Is straight malt vinegar
One pull and I'm back to myself
It takes me back down to Earth
Lo this deep and longing pain
That seeps from my bones
And though it plagues me everyday
I'll never let you know
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
Crossing countless county lines
Just to see my family
By now I've crossed them enough times
They'll never forgive me
So spread my ashes cross these steel bands
With which I'm synonymous
For I am just a railway man
Who's reached his terminus
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
I'm a railway man
Shoveling coal for the railroad
Shoveling coal all night
Shoveling coal
Shoveling 'til I die
Shoveling coal for the railroad
Shoveling coal all night
Shoveling coal
Shoveling 'til I die
Shoveling coal for the railroad
Shoveling coal all night
Shoveling coal
Shoveling 'til I die
Shoveling coal for the railroad
Shoveling coal all night
Shoveling coal
Shoveling 'til I die
