I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone gone gone
I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done done done
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done



I've been spending too much time just sittin' around and thinking it over
Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



Call you a rambler when you'd run run run
We'd call you a rambler when you'd run
Young man we've missed you since you've gone gone gone
Young man we've missed you since you've gone


I've been spending too much time just sittin' around and thinking it over
Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



Lost all my friends since I've been gone gone gone
Yeah I s'pose you can't lose what you ain't won
But I lost all my friends since I've been gone gone gone
Made some new ones out of strangers since I've gone



I've been spending too much time just sittin' around and thinking it over
Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



Stars in my cider and the night night night
Oh and one might be mine if I've heard right
Must they make me think of better times times times
Oh why can't I think beyond those times?



Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone gone gone
I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done done done
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done
Keep on with that bloodline 'till it's done



There's a hole in my pockets I was cleaned out though
Tax you and toll you 'till you're through
And the rumors you've heard of me are true true true
Yeah they're ugly but I am ugly too



I've been spending too much time just sittin' around and thinking it over
Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



This greyhound won't take me to your door door door
Well then what the hell'd you think they build it for?
Just put me on that keystone 44
Just put me on that keystone 44



How long is too much time sitting around and thinking it over?
Has the day of my transfiguration, the dawn of my better life come any closer?



I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone gone gone
I've been hittin' hard times since I've gone
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done done done
Tarry on that train line 'till it's done
Keep on with that bloodline 'till it's done
