Smoke Along The Track — Dwight Yoakam

(alan rose, don helms)

One day the train was passing, I caught it comin by

To look this old world over, under gods 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, theres something down the track

Its callin me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way

Ill always be

Now when I get this feelin

Dont try to hold me back

Ill only leave you cryin

In the smoke along the track

I like to keep on goin, it helps me when Im blue

I get the urge to travel, thats all I want to do

I know I just cant settle down because I like to roam

And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along

Chorus

Bye, bye, so long, theres something down the track

Its callin me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way

Ill always be

Now when I get this feelin

Dont try to hold me back

Ill only leave you cryin

In the smoke along the track

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

But she dont understand me when Im 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, theres something down the track

Its callin me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess thats just the way

Ill always be

Now when I get this feelin

Dont try to hold me back

Ill only leave you cryin

In the smoke along the track
