Wrote It Down And Burned It Lyrics

There's a dead girl's body 

By the railroad track 

She's waiting for a train 

Jimmy left town like a fade to black 

In his Camero in the rain 



She wrote it down and burned it 

Jimmy loves who knows who 

Well he wasn't from around this town 

And mister neither are you 



She was listening into that Monon line 

For the Wabash Cannonball 

Put your head on the rail 

And you can hear her whine 

Just like a caterwaul 



She wrote it down and burned it 

She clutched it flaming to her chest 

It said Jimmy loves cars 

And Jimmy loves trains 

Ah but Jimmy, Jimmy loves me best 



There's a dead girl's body 

By the railroad track 

Waiting for a train 

Well I guess Jimmy never did come back 

In his Camaro in the rain 



She wrote it down and burned it 

Yeah the only way I know 

You could still read some words 

In the ashes there 

But she could not watch him go 



She wrote it down and burned it
