"Switchman's Wife" lyrics:
[VERSE 1]
Coffee gone cold… by the kitchen light
Her side still warm… when I leave at night
Boots hit wood… and she don’t say much
Just pulls that blanket… a little more shut
Train whistle low… through the pinewood dark
That sound hit deep… like it hit my heart
I tell myself… “just one more line”
But I been sayin’ that… my whole damn life
[HOOK]
She sleep beside me… but the railroad got me
Steel took pieces… and it never stopped
I come home tired… eyes gone distant
Like half my soul still ridin’ them tracks
[VERSE 2]
Hands all cut… from the switchyard steel
Still hold her soft… like somethin’ real
But my mind drift off… when the night roll in
Like the line still pullin’ underneath my skin
TV glow blue… but I don’t hear sound
Just stare out dark… when the trains roll down
She ask “where you go?”… I shake my head
Cause I don’t know either… so I kiss her instead
[HOOK]
She sleep beside me… but the railroad own me
That whistle call… and I can’t not listen
Whole life built… on overtime pay
But the line keep takin’ more every day
[VERSE 3]
Some men lose home… to whiskey burns
Some lose love… cause they never learn
Me? I lost slow… one shift at a time
To cold steel rail… and signal lights
And Lord I love her… more than this work
But this line got hooks… underneath the hurt
Like my blood run black… with engine smoke
And every mile gone… leave my chest more broke
[BRIDGE]
You ever love somethin’ you can’t put down?
You ever hear peace… in a lonesome sound?
You ever build life… while it wear you down?
Yeah… that railroad pull… feel different now
[HOOK – HARDER]
She sleep beside me… but the railroad keep me
Mind still ridin’… when my body home
I say “I’m here”… but the line say different
That steel don’t share… once it get commitment
[FINAL VERSE]
Last night late… rain hit the glass
Freight rolled low… and it shook right past
I stood outside… in that cold wind still
Like somethin’ out there… called against my will
Looked back in… through the porch light glow
Saw her asleep… safe and warm at home
That’s when it hit me… hard and black…
I ain’t chasin’ the railroad anymore…
…the railroad keep pullin’ me back
