Stoney LaRue - Train To Birmingham Lyrics






I've been riding on this train
Takin' whiskey for my pain
Just another good ol' boy goin' home
And every town I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam

And I cry when I have to
And I lie whenever I can
But I die a little slower
On a train to Birmingham

I got holes in both my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for my remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee

And I cry when I have to
And I lie whenever I can
But I die a little slower
On a train to Birmingham

Well every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get this lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of comin' home

Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
On the train to Birmingham

    Wanna know why you don't hear Stoney on the radio? It's because he never sold out...he did his style of music his fucking way, and he's still going at it by God, burning up the highway and gracing stages across the whole damn country. Talent beyond talent, he's truly a Red Dirt original, One of the 'Disciples of Jenkins', and after a few shots and a hog leg hooter or 2 when the show's over, one the coolest & craziest little sumbitches I've ever jammed with.
    He won't buy cigarettes, he'll smoke the shit outta yours though, lol, no, he's one hell of a good ol boy.....Never change brother, and never stop doing it to it.
