Lead Me Back Home - Joe Purdy

I been standing by railroad ties

I been walkin on my own

I’ve been thinking bout

The highway lines

And how they never lead me back to home

Well my mama told me to stay in touch

My papa told me beware

For those storms will come without warning son

And that wind could blow you anywhere

Well I been standing by railroad ties

I been walkin on my own

I’ve been thinking bout

The highway lines

And how they never lead me back to home

My baby she knows how to treat me right

She knows how to lay me down nice and slow

And she whispers sweet to me late at night

Won’t you take me with you when you go

I been standing by railroad ties

I been walkin on my own

I’ve been thinking bout

The highway lines

And how they never lead me back to home

Well the Rio Grande

This time of year

Under cottonwoods

Yellow glow

On the edge I’ll stand

Not far from here

Wondering where I’ve been and where to go

Well I been standing by railroad ties

I been walkin on my own

I’ve been thinking bout

The highway lines

And if they’ll never lead me back to home
