Train to Birmingham Lyrics

Train to Birmingham
By Stoney Larue
I've been riding on this train
Takin' whiskey for my pain
Just another good ol' boy goin' home
And every town I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam
And I cry when I have to
And I lie whenever can
But I die a little slower
On a train to Birmingham
I got holes in both my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for my remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee
And I cry when I have to
And I lie whenever I can
But I die a little slower
On a train to Birmingham
Well every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get this lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of comin' home
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
On the train to Birmingham
