Lyrics Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam

Smoke Along the Track

One day the train was passin', and I caught it comin' by

To look this old world over, under God's blue sky

My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back

I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track

Bye, Bye, so long, there's somethin' down the track it's callin' me

Bye, Bye, so long, I guess that's just the way I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track

I like to keep on goin', it helps me when I'm blue

I get the urge to travel, thats all I want to do

I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam

And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track it's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way I'll always be

Hey when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track

I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too

But she don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue

And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack

And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track it's callin me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way I'll always be

When I that feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track

I'll just leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track
