Bruce Springsteen - Downbound Train Lyrics
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said "Joe I gotta go
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Bruce Springsteen Downbound Train Comments
Bought this in 2012. Keep rockig Springsteen!
I.ve been on a downbound train for sometime now the last stop gets increasing closer
si rivede l'America di quegli anni 80. bellissima
'Downbound Train' was a HUGE influence on a new 80's rock album my band have recorded, especially single 'Danger Zone 2'.. Check it out! https://youtu.be/wI5Cl0bgXXU
Peace! x
Una delle più belle canzoni che Bruce ha scritto !!! 💗💗💖💖😍😍😘😘💘💯💯💋
"Now, I work down at the car wash where all it ever does is rain"
That is pure poetry. I just wish that Bruce would keep his political opinions to himself and do what he does best...Which is, create great tunes.
When you feel the lyrics with your heart and soul it's like magic in your ears
Favorite song off that album, LOVE IT❤
Great melancholic and emotional song from The BOSS who make me happy😍, Bruce Springsteen is a great legend.. 👍🌞🤗🇧🇻

THE BOSS!!
feels like any comment can't touch the excellence of this song!!! untouchable!!!
this is one of his devastating best
You can picture and feel what he singing about that's what good about this song
Critics absolutely hate this song, for me it is one of his very best.
Me too. My favorite song!!
The darkest song I've ever heard. I love this.
Sorry Chris Evans, but that is America's Ass. You're #2 Cap. Only a little homo.
Amazing music, that vibe, energy aaah
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
…
She just said: Joe I gotta go
We had it once we ain't got it any more
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
Feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
…
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
…
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
One of my all time favorites. Hauntingly beautiful 💕
Not in your face this dark and sad masterpiece but right in your heart and soul. If you got one that is...
Max Weinberg is top 5 drummer all time easy
Detta får mig att komma ihåg Ullevi 1985, en super bra konsert!
Who's listening to this song in 2020? Yeah, me neither, but soon, very soon ...

Damned lumber yard
THE BOSSSSSS !!!!!!!
Probably Bruce's best...
Hey Bruce you said anybody can do what I do, I dont think so lad, but whatever you do don't stop and maybe just maybe we might get an idea of how you do it?
If you can't appreciate or identify with this song, then you haven't truly lived. Bittersweet is this life we live. Too often the ones we love and build our world around just disappear. As was once said by Pete Steele; Base not your joy upon the deeds of others, for what is given can be taken away. No hope = no fear.
The layoff was sad that's when his life fell apart
Lo adoro... grandissimo
This makes me cry time after time.
What a bloody gorgeous song
Well, I guess I still have heroin.
That’s not funny. Go comment on music that matters to you and leave the people who like good music alone
Sounds like you need a fix of heroin. Just to ease that butthurt
This song describes 8 years of Obama to a TEE......

Anyone can find themselves on a down bound train ! we gotta have more empathy and feelings or it is all shit
Such a sad and beautiful song!
Well.....fuck me
I have to agree, the 80s had the best rock.

I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said, "Joe, I gotta go
We had it once, we ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags, left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard
I burst through the front door, my head pounding hard
Up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now, don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
i like the line about working at a carwash
One of my favorite songs. Love Bruce forever 😍❤🎶
everyone says this song was filler....hands down my favorite Boss song.....
One of many highlights on Born In The USA
This song deserves to be much more known so bad!
This song deserves to be much more known so bad!
Beautiful art work
Zaaaalig nummer!!!!!
You have your own story with that song....
Otherwise, you wouldn' t read that..... :-P
hermosa canción
In the 1980s, I used to listen to this song on a cassette in my bed with the lights of the room out...I don't know why but it created a certain ambiance
I did the exact same thing back in the day. Rewinded the cassette to Downbound Train and just got the chills in the darkness...
emo cutter girl brought me here in 2019
You’re the type of person that doesn’t deserve music like this.
he played this as a request in trieste and it was one of the best things i ever heard, just woaw!
this is the tri - state area tribute!!!
Best song on the album.
I can't find speakers that make this loud enough! Yargh, thats a mighty song!!!!!
The best song from that album is the one i am listening to at the moment. Born in the USA is one album you can play from beginning to end and every song is really good.
nice belt did you get the redeo purse 2

Wow sehr schöne Musik
It's always been my favorite song of his.
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said, "Joe, I gotta go
We had it once, we ain't got it anymore"
She packed her bags, left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran…
Wow. Just wow. Hits me right in the feels
SO SAD. This used to be my favorite song on that album until I listened to the lyrics. WHAT A DIFFERENCE1 I love trains though.
Love this song,it reminds me of The Western movies
So much passion❤
Still jamming this in 2019..
