(allison moorer/doyle primm)



I've been walking these mean streets

Hard concrete beneath my feet

Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd

The city's like a christmas tree

A light for every dreamer's dream

But it seems mine has finally burned out



Long black train, take me home

I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go

I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong

Long black train, take me home



I should've known i was mistaken

When i thought that i'd be making

A name for myself in babylon

Though i've tried to do my best

The suit and ties are not impressed

So with what's left of my pride, i'll carry on



Long black train, take me home

I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go

I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong

Long black train, take me home



I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket

Then climb aboard and ride you down the track

I know i'm licked, but it's hard to admit it

Maybe someday you can bring me back



Long black train, take me home

I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go

I have to face the music, this just ain't where i belong

Long black train, take me home

Long black train, take me home
