Bruce Springsteen - Downbound Train

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 carwash
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 any more
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
