Lyrics Dwight Yoakam – Smoke Along The Track

One day the train was passing, I caught it coming by
To look this old world over, under god’s blue sky
My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back
I kissed my baby crying in the smoke along the track

Bye, bye, so long, there’s something down the track
It’s calling me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that’s just the way
I’ll always be
Now when I get this feeling
Don’t try to hold me back
I’ll only leave you crying
In the smoke along the track

I like to keep on going, 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

Bye, bye, so long, there’s something down the track
It’s calling me
Bye, bye, so long, I guess that’s just the way
I’ll always be
Now when I get this feeling
Don’t try to hold me back
I’ll only leave you crying
In the smoke along the track

I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too
But she don’t understand me when I’m feeling blue
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack
And kiss my baby crying in the smoke along the track

Bye, bye, so long, there’s something down the track
It’s calling me
