One blink and you would miss it
There's an outline in the distance
A cowboy riding into the night
In boots of Red Wing leather
And Camo Carhartt sweater
They haven't made since 2009
Well the M train swang like a boomerang
But I could hear the song he sang
So softly
Awfully nice
He closed his eyes and sighed
Oh
Life's been awful slow (Ah)
Mine's a lonesome road
Train car take me home
In taverns on the outskirts
Like a rancher sans a cowherd
The bartend knows our cowboy by name
This Bourbons got him thinking
And a lifetime starts to sink in
He's homesick but there is no one to blame
Well the J train is long as the arm of the law
To the counting line the sheriff called
He's gone now
Long out west
Where they still sing his song
Oh
Life's been awful slow
Mine's a lonesome road
Train car take me home
Train car take me home
