Close To The Tracks Lyrics

She lives close to the tracks

So she never sleeps a wink

The trains run all night

Give her plenty time to think

About the love that she had

To a man brave and true

And how that love turned bad

The way love's bound to do

They'd have candle light meals

They'd drink wine from Bordeaux

They'd make love every night

The moon hung low

But he stopped coming home

He stopped paying the bills

She had to move to this house

By the tracks down the hill

She'd call her mom and her dad

But they wouldn't understand

They'd say what did you do

To that hard working man

She'd call her brother down south

But he'd never call her back

He's got his house down a hill

Next to his own railroad tracks

So what happens now

What should she do?

She can't fall asleep

And dream a love brand new

Up in the air

She sees birds and planes

You know she'd go anywhere

To get away from these trains
