Railroad Of Sin Lyrics

Sturgill Simpson Railroad Of Sin

Well they say you live and learn but it really seems more to me
Like all along I've been learning how to live
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin

When I'm looking back on my life now at some of the things I done
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame
I was a no good, no account, low down heart breaker
On that railroad of sin I was a high balling train

I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, and borrow
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
Just a high balling train on that railroad of sin

Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming
'Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down

I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, and borrow
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
Just a high balling train on that railroad of sin

Well I'm a poor boy had to beg, steal, and borrow
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
Just a high balling train on that railroad of sin
