Lyrics
Santa Fe Freight Yard
Drifting through the ruins of a burned out past
All the shattered dreams along the broken path
Found true love but it didn?t last
This time there ain?t no looking back
I?m so far from home
And many miles I?ve roamed
I?m gonna lay my bones in a cold boxcar
Down at the Santa Fe Freight Yard
I see the lightning flashing rivers of red
I hear the thunder crashing in my head
Wandering abandoned and left for dead
Out here to take what you get
Repeat chorus
I?ve been traveling this road for so long
All that I cared about has faded and gone
It?s so hard to keep carrying on
When nothing matters anyway
I?m gonna lay my bones in a cold boxcar
Down at the Santa Fe Freight Yard
Drifting through the ruins of a burned out past
All the shattered dreams along the broken path
Found salvation but it didn?t last
This time there ain?t no looking back
Repeat chorus
