Just a day in the life of a man always on the road
neo retro adult comtemporary alt-country folk rock pop............
Story behind the song
I wrote this song a couple years ago while in a Motel , missing my wife and kids , in a samll town in Arizona.
Lyrics
Yesterdays Train
It seems like I am always alone,
But I don't mind much anymore.
Sitting in a bar , Wilcox or Tombstone,
It's a long way from home ,
and that's for sure.
Maybe it's wanderlust or
maybe I don't like to be around that much.
But on nights like this ,
I really do miss your touch.
Chorus : Yesterday's train ( I should be on it ,
making my way back to you )
I hear it calling in the distance
Yesterday's train( I should be on it making my way back to you )
Breaking down my resistance
Yesterday's train ( I should be on it making my way back to you )
Howling through the night
Yesterday's train
( I should be on it making my way back to you )
Take me home tonight.
It seems the longer I'm away ,
the more I want to stay in one place.
I want to walk through that door ,
Put down my bags and Kiss ,
your beautiful face.
In these midnight hours of quite desperation,
I turn the dial but I can't seem to find ,
A radio station.
Chorus : Yesterdays train....
Bridge : Well the pay is good
and you can't find
this kind of job in our town
and If I could, you know I would
turn this rig around
Chorus : Yesterday's train.......
