lyrics

Tommy Ray

A handsome man sat next to me, in a downtown breakfast café
He asked to share my table; I said I guess that’d be ok

He said his name was Thomas Raymond, but I could call him Tommy Ray
just like his friends
He told me tales of freight train riding and he wore a wandering grin

Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
That old freight train keeps pulling away
Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
Boy, you gonna have to settle down one day…

I said “if you want my sympathy, at best I got a listening ear
You got a baby on the West Coast crying
now what the hell you doing way back here?”

Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
That old freight train keeps pulling away
Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
Boy, you gonna have to settle down one day…

Hey, Tommy Ray
That old freight train keeps pulling you away
Hey, Tommy Ray
Boy you gonna have to settle down, you gonna have to settle down

Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
That old freight train keeps pulling away
Hey, hey, hey Tommy Ray
Boy, you gonna have to settle down one day
Hey, hey Tommy Ray
