[Intro] (x2) [Verse 1] Well I’m back on that road again Nothin’ slows me down I ain’t seen a single smile Since I left your town [Verse 2] All these people just keep lookin’ ’round Can’t look em’ in the eye LA’s like the movies And I’m still wonderin’ why [Chorus] I’m holdin’ on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home [Verse 3] Road signs are hazy and The miles start to unwind But I ain’t never lookin’ back ’Cause there’s nothin’ left behind [Verse 4] My fingertips are bleedin’ They’re right down to the bone Can’t believe I’m out again On the high lonesome road [Chorus] I’m holdin’ on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home [Verse 5] The headlights are blindin’ and The diesels are on fire Haulin’ ass down a mountain pass To the California state line [Verse 6] If you could see my bleedin’ feet You might hang your head and cry But don’t you shed a tear my dear For I’m comin’ home tonight [Chorus] I’m holdin’ on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home
