Steel Train Leave You Traveling lyrics

You know I've been traveling for a long, long time
I've seen the ends of this world and the cold in your eyes
And if I leave you traveling long way, it is to carry me home

There was this storm and it took my friend
But they found him the next day, he was cold and pretend
And if he leaves me traveling long way, it is to carry home

Then I lost my brother to the bullets of your war
They're gonna bomb your city and the cold wind'll blow

And if I die before I learn to live, oh he's gonna carry me home

I sent a letter to the woman that I loved
It read, baby, I'm sorry but I'm cold in your arms

And if she leaves me traveling long way, it is to carry her home, oh
And if I leave you traveling, all I know is how to carry me home
