Leaving in a cloud of burning cinders
Cinders from a fire of love gone out
Never looking back when she's highballing
She's the daughter of a railroad man
No doubt
Waking in a new bed every morning
Breaking in a new heart every night
Up and running while the world is sleeping
She's the daughter of a railroad man
Alright
She is long and sleek
And made for moving
She's outward-bound
At any time she can
She won't be staying long in any station
She's the daughter of a railroad man
Cries out in the night when she gets lonely
You can bet she won't be lonely long
On down the line someone waits her arrival
And the daughter of a railroad man is gone
She is long and sleek
And made for moving
She's outward-bound
At any time she can
She won't be staying long in any station
She's the daughter of a railroad man
