Lyrics:

I Had A Job, I Had A Girl
i Had Something Going, Mister, In This World
i Got Laid Off Down At The Lumber Yard
our Love Went Bad, Times Got Hard
now I Work Down At The Car Wash
where All It Ever Does Is Rain
don't You Feel Like You're A Rider On A Downbound Train

she Just Said, 'joe, I Gotta Go
we Had It Once, We Ain't Got It Anymore'
she Packed Her Bags, Left Me Behind
she Bought A Ticket On The Central Line
nights As I Sleep, I Hear That Whistle Whining
i Feel Her Kiss In The Misty Rain
and I Feel Like I'm A Rider On A Downbound Train

last Night I Heard Your Voice
you Were Crying, Crying, You Were So Alone
you Said Your Love Had Never Died
you Were Waiting For Me At Home
put On My Jacket, I Ran Through The Woods
i Ran Till I Thought My Chest Would Explode
there In The Clearing, Beyond The Highway
in The Moonlight, Our Wedding House Shone
i Rushed Through The Yard
i Burst Through The Front Door, My Head Pounding Hard
up The Stairs I Climbed
the Room Was Dark, Our Bed Was Empty
then I Heard That Long Whistle Whine
and I Dropped To My Knees, Hung My Head And Cried
now I Swing A Sledge Hammer On A Railroad Gang
knocking Down Them Cross Ties, Working In The Rain
now, Don't It Feel Like You're A Rider On A Downbound Train
