Three Tall Pines - Station Line lyrics

Artist: Three Tall Pines

album: All That's Left


In the hills of old Virginia, met a girl in the station line
Hair was long, her eyes were hazel, and her smile I remember fine
This here rail line will take you nowhere that you want to be bound
Take you deep to the city, where the lights won't go down
Where the lights won't go down
Somewhere east of Memphis, I met a boy in the station line
His eyes were low, his hands were weathered, with trouble on his mind
This old rail line will take you nowhere that you want to be bound
Take you east from the city through the fields of rusty brown
Through the fields of rusty brown
How I long to be in Virginia, with the one from the station line
How I long to be there lying with you lying by my side
I was going to see my mama, past few years she's taken ill
Left my job in the city to go out and try to make her well
I was waitin' by the railside for the sale to be signed
Farmers falling by the wayside, me and the boys were in a bind
Me and the boys were in a bind
Don't know another way but to farm the ground where I was raised
Give it up and sell this truck... Lord it'd be the end of me
I'd forgotten how still and quiet, the whip-poor-will song at night
I'd forgotten where I came from, got lost in those city lights
I got lost in those city lights
How I long to be in Virginia, with the one from the station line
How I long to be there lying with you lying by my side
Someday I hope to find her, she's a gentle on my mind
Pray her ma' is getting better, I'd like to show them around the farm
Maybe one day we'll me again, his voice sweet and low
I'll leave the job in the city to make that boy my own
To make that boy my own
How I long to be in Virginia, with the one from the station line
How I long to be there lying with you lying by my side
With you lying by my side
With you lying by my side
