Johnny Cash
Daughter Of A Railroad Man
[Verse 1]
Leaving in a cloud of burning cinders
Cinders from a fire of love gone out
Never looking back when she's highballing
She's the daughter of a railroad man, no doubt

[Verse 2]
Waking in a new bed every morning
Breaking in a new heart every night
Up and running while the world is sleeping
She's the daughter of a railroad man, alright

[Chorus]
She is long and sleek and made for moving
She's outward-bound at any time she can
She won't be staying long in any station
She's the daughter of a railroad man

[Verse 3]
Cries out in the night when she gets lonely
You can bet she won't be lonely long
On down the line, someone waits her arrival
And the daughter of a railroad man is gone

[Chorus]
She is long and sleek and made for moving
She's outward-bound at any time she can
She won't be staying long in any station
She's the daughter of a railroad man
