Lyrics for Long Black Train by Allison Moorer
Songwriters: Primm, Doyle; Moorer, Allison
A name for myself in Babylon
I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
Long black train, take me home
I know I'm licked, but it's hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back
I should've known I was mistaken
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
A light for every dreamer's dream
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
The suit and ties are not impressed
Long black train, take me home
Long black train, take me home
Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd
When I thought that I'd be making
Long black train, take me home
I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
I have to face the music, this just ain't where I belong
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
Long black train, take me home
So with what's left of my pride, I'll carry on
Though I've tried to do my best
But it seems mine has finally burned out
I've worn out my welcome here, it's time to go
Long black train, take me home
The city's like a Christmas tree
