[Lyric] Dusty Box Car Wall (Eric Andersen)

[Chorus]
I'm goin' away, my baby
I'm gonna leave you, pretty gal
For a train passed you by while you lay sleeping
I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

[Verse 1]
Once had a true love in old Kentucky
I once had a love in sunny Tennessee
But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness
And now, I'm as lonely as I can be

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm goin' away, my baby
I'm gonna leave you, pretty gal
A train passed you by while you lay sleeping
I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

[Verse 2]
City women bring you grief and sorrow
Country girls are as sweet as they can be
City women are cold, and they are shallow
But a country girl’s love is as deep as the deep blue sеa
[Chorus]
Yes, I'm goin' away, my baby
I'm gonna leave you, prеtty gal
For a train passed you by while you lay sleeping
I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, when I die and go to Heaven
That'll be the last train ride I'll ever see
Then put a silver spike on my gravestone
And on my casket a weeping willow tree

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm goin' home with my baby
I'm gonna leave you, pretty gal
For a train passed you by while you lay sleeping
I'll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
