Well, I'm back on that road again Nothin' slows me down I ain't seen a single smile Since I left your town All these people just keep lookin' 'round Can't look em' in the eye LA's like the movies And I'm still wonderin' why I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home Road signs are hazy and The miles start to unwind But I ain't never lookin' back 'Cause there's nothin' left behind My fingertips are bleedin' They're right down to the bone Can't believe I'm out again On the high lonesome road I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home The headlights are blindin' and The diesels are on fire Haulin' ass down a mountain pass To the California state line If you could see my bleedin' feet You might hang your head and cry But don't you shed a tear, my dear For I'm comin' home tonight I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home
