Since I left Chicago
I've had no place to go
And I just can't go back
My love my blood's on the tracks

As this train heads south
All my bags I travel without
Dockery Farm is where I'll rest
I'm gonna become the very best

Got a woman in New Orleans
A gypsy of the red light scene
When I get there she'll know
That I've been to the crossroads

Pass my dad in Hazelhurst
His wood shack crumbling into the dirt
Someday I'll ride into town
And burn my old house down

Since I left Chicago I've been just running around
Not looking for anything just trying to drown out the sound
Of a life that follows me down
Of love that I haven't found
But silence is all I hear
Though my life's getting near
Well it wasn't in Greece
No it wasn't in Spain
And when I got to Rome
I'd learned to drown out the pain

Been around the world but I've found no clues
There's nothing just quite like one man's traveling blues
Well everywhere that I've been
I hear her name on the wind
You know I can't stay too long
The train passes through at dawn
Though I've got nowhere to be
I'm just going to go
There's something calling on me
But what it is I don't know

It's been 40 years since the start of the story I tell
For every word about me there's 10 about somebody else
But every part of it's true
From first love to the noose
Now I just wait for the end
A long ride with an old friend
Some look back in regret
At life's fallout with romance
But it's so easy to forget
When you never had a chance
