Rider's Blues (Copyright 1999 Harvey-Fowler)

I fell the beat of the clicking wheels
like the pounding words I still feel
my fathers taunts still haunting me
though the whistle screams that I am free
he said I am damned and damned I'll be

chorus#
It's not my job to drive this train
just traveling on trying to numb the pain
got the rider's blues rolling round in my brain
its not my job to drive this train

Keep the pain inside I can't look back
while my heart keeps time with the clickity clack
Dark desert skie not a soul in sight
I wish for peace in the morning light
and my father's love with all my might

chorus#
