I can't seem to shake this feeling that I
Got your perfect wrong
Thought we had the kind of love that would last forever
But now you're good and gone

Too good to be true for a railroad worker
Daddy said we weren't meant to be
Though I knew it from the start
They say "the dollar rules the heart"
I said the rules don't apply to me

If only I had asked
If only I had known
You were in it for the money honey
I wouldn't have this pain, you'd have your CEO
If ever you crawl back
Come begging for a home
Let me remind you I'm a railroad worker
And you said I'm better off staying on my own

Met this girl at the bar
She said she don't live too far
From where we worked on the Western line
That night she went to the jail
And paid her husband's bail
But weren't just him that was doing time

She was left all alone
To feed the baby while he's gone
Gave her up when she couldn't pay
When he came home he beat her
Her last resort to flee
And drink the liquor just to bury her pain

She said

If only I had asked
If only I had known
I wouldn't have given him the time of day
I'd've left him in jail, cussing his C.O.
If ever he crawls back
Says girl will you come home?
Sorry boy that ship has sailed
And I think I'm better off staying on my own

Now Maria's my wife of 18 years
We've got two kids of our own
Between her story and mine
We're sure full of advice
I hope they take it when they're all grown

The kids they took us to church
I had to take off of work
Don't they know that I'm missing pay?
I was back pew grumblin' underneath my breath
But that was over
When He showed me the way

If only I had asked
If only I had known
It was the blood on the tree that would set me free
We didn't need no liquor to heal our souls
And whenever I crawl back
Say "Lord I've done you wrong"
He points me to my sins that he nailed to the tree and says
My Son is alive and they're dead and gone

I can't seem to shake this feeling that I
Got your perfect wrong
As it turns out I'm right, but I am saved by The Light
This railroad worker has found his home
