You've done a lot of hard living
Rolled a lot of miles on these trains
And the map to a checkered land covers up your face
Another come down near the yard
Over a jug of wine and a deck of cards
Thinkin' a lot of hard living
Beats a lot of never living at all
You've known a lot of good women
But you never could call it true
So you held 'em for awhile
'Cause what else can a poor boy do
It did hurt to watch them cry
Oh, but lord what a weight not to cut that line
Knowin' for every good woman
There's a better man yet to arrive
You've seen a lot of this country
But you never did find a home
From the islands of the Puget Sound
Down to the 9th Ward
Hear that lonesome whistle whine
We could make it to Atlanta by closing time
Seeing a little more country
From the guts of a daybreak ride
