It' nine o' clock in this old
station and my silver linin ride is a right on time
and I buy myself a one way ticket
for some where else on down the line
1st Verse
And I see that on their faces of a people that will never come home
and when I stare into the mirror mama
See myself all alone 0h oh
1st Chorus
and did you ever stop to wonder
about the times that she laid by your side
when you know that I was right
And you finally realize you took a
left turn on a red light

2nd Verse
Sun shines down on the desert
and it seems to make my life a haze
and I dream of my childhood sweetheart
and the freedom that I had in those days
when I wake from all my dreamin'
will this boxcar always be my lonely home
yeah well I don't know where I am
and I really don't give a damn
this crazy life of mine will soon be gone
2nd Chorus
and did you ever stop to wonder
about the times that she laid by your side
when you know that I was right
And you finally realize you took a
left turn on a red light
Main Solo

Well it's nine o'clock at this old station
once again my ride is right on time
and as I buy myself another ticket Lord
for somewhere else on down the line
3rd Verse
well I'll always be a rambler
well the ones I love always keep tellin' me
you stare too long in the mirror son
someday you'll be too blind to see
3rd Chorus
Oh and now I can stop my wonderin'
about the times that she laid by my side
now I know that I was right and I finally realize
I took a left turn on a red light Who-o-o-o-o-o-h
