I grow so tired of giving
and always picking up the slack
of all the lovelorn bereaving
heaped up in this old life
one day I’m going up to chicago
my true love by my side
we’ll drive past all the fences and the smokestacks
lord I hope that we won’t look back
no I won’t take a sorry this time
I gave them up before we met
and no forgiveness will I part with
no matter who is or is not on your breath
I’m soul bound to a railroading town
a sweethearted gal who don’t let my feet touch the ground
and a left handed fork between growing and making safe bets
you were a 10 ton iron weight of a wreck
barreling sideways off the rails to my life
we made the best of all the times that we had
gave no quarter to the sweetness abound
but like a hurricane over the mountains
we came undone between the clouds
no I won’t take a sorry this time
I gave them up before we met
and no forgiveness will I part with
no matter who is or is not on your breath
I’m soul bound to a railroading town
a sweethearted gal who don’t let my feet touch the ground
and a left handed fork between growing and making safe bets
i’m sorry my old friend, my heart cannot be swayed
and I really hate to say it, but you ain’t seen the tail end
of the worst of this quite yet
no I won’t take a sorry this time
I gave them up before we met
and no forgiveness will I part with
no matter who is or is not on your breath
I’m soul bound to a railroading town
a sweethearted gal who don’t let my feet touch the ground
and a left handed fork between growing and making safe bets
