The Texas Silver Zephyr
4
She was a young and pretty Coleman county farm girl
5
Never been more than fifty miles from home
6
I was just a drifter I was living off the land
7
Spent the summer on her daddy's farm
8
In the evening we'd walk along the railroad
9
We'd hear that lonesome whistle in the night
10
And she'd pretend we road the rails to Denver
11
Cause' her head was full of flashin' neon lights
12
Twas' that big old shiny diesel as it rounded Carter's bend
13
Was enough to make a young girl want to roam
14
She'd pretend she rode those shiny rails all around the world
15
And had the Texas Silver Zephyr bring her home
16
As summer work was over and restless got to me
17
I kept talkin' 'bout the places I would go
18
Then her young head got to spinnin' for the things she'd never seen
19
So she followed me to Denver in the fall
20
Then jobs got scarce in central Colorado
21
And then the winter nights got awful cold
22
Just one old army blanket was the only one we had
23
No money for the oil to run the stove
24
Yes that big old shiny diesel as it rounded Carter's bend
25
Was enough to make a young girl want to roam
26
But through all those hungry nights the only promise that I made
27
I had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her home
28
When she started feelin' bad she didn't tell me
29
She had a way of keepin' problems all her own
30
So I didn't know her troubles with the baby
31
Before I could get a doctor she was gone
32
Lord I know it's not the way she really wanted things to be
33
In her dreams she had a pullman all her own
34
But she'd be proud of me to know I kept my promise
35
And had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her home
36
And had the Texas Silver Zephyr take her home
