Smoke Along the Track - Live

(Alan Rose, Don Helms)

One day the train was passing,

I caught it comin' by

To look this old world over,

Under God's blue sky

My darlin' stood there weepin'

As I was lookin' back

I kissed my baby cryin' in

The smoke along the track

Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long,

There's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long,

I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin' in

The smoke along the track

I like to keep on goin',

It helps me when I'm blue

I get the urge to travel,

That's all I want to do

I know I just can't settle down

Because I like to roam

And when I hear that whistle blow

I gotta move along

Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long,

There's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long,

I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin' in

The smoke along the track

--- Instrumental ---

I know my baby loves me,

I love my baby too

But she don't understand me

When I'm feelin' blue

And when I hear that whistle blow

I hurry home to pack

And kiss my baby cryin' in

The smoke along the track

Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long,

There's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long,

I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin' in

The smoke along the track

I'll only leave you cryin' in

The smoke along the track...
