Long Black Train Lyrics

    (allison moorer/doyle primm)

    I've been walking these mean streets
    Hard concrete beneath my feet
    Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd
    The city's like a christmas tree
    A light for every dreamer's dream
    But it seems mine has finally burned out

    Long black train, take me home
    I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
    I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong
    Long black train, take me home

    I should've known i was mistaken
    When i thought that i'd be making
    A name for myself in babylon
    Though i've tried to do my best
    The suit and ties are not impressed
    So with what's left of my pride, i'll carry on

    Long black train, take me home
    I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
    I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong
    Long black train, take me home

    I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
    Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
    I know i'm licked, but it's hard to admit it
    Maybe someday you can bring me back

    Long black train, take me home
    I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
    I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong
    Long black train, take me home
    Long black train, take me home
