Day after day
Miles and miles of railroad tracks
Night after night
Hummin' of the wheels
Their hummin' seems to say
He'll follow you someday
But someday seems a million miles away
Day after day
Make a dollar, need it twice
Night after night
Lie awake and dream
Of days of auld-lang-syne
Moonlight through the pine
And linen table cloths all stained with wine
Day after day
Watch the hands move 'round the clock
Night after night
Searching for my soul
So this must be my fate
To sit and weep and wait
And pray my darlin' comes before too late
