The Old Freight Yard

Times have gotten tough and I’ve lost all my stuff

And they took away my credit cards

I did everything I could but it just was no good

Now I’m living at the old freight yard

Well I used to have a home and I used to have a car

And I used to have a real nice yard

Now all I have left are some clothes in a bag

And the shelter of an old box car

well I’m living in the old freight yard

because times have really gotten so hard

wishin there was a train that could take us back again

cause we’re stuck here  in the old freight yard.

I used to have a wife and a real nice life

But she left me when things fell apart

She moved back home to her mom on her family’s farm

And left me with a broken heart

Though I’m a bit lonely I’m never alone

I’ve made these new friends of mine

Cause I’m not the only one who ran out of funds

and came to the end of the line

well were living in the old freight yard

because times have really gotten so hard

wishin there was a train that could take us back again

cause we’re stuck here  in the old freight yard.

Drinking cheap wine, talking about better times

And the way that it used to be.

It was a beautiful life 0. we had it mad in the shade

But I guess it wasn’t meant to be

well were living in the old freight yard

because times have really gotten so hard

wishin there was a train that could take us back again

cause we’re stuck here  in the old freight yard.
