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