I can't seem to shake this feeling that I Got your perfect wrong Thought we had the kind of love that would last forever But now you're good and gone Too good to be true for a railroad worker Daddy said we weren't meant to be Though I knew it from the start They say "the dollar rules the heart" I said the rules don't apply to me If only I had asked If only I had known You were in it for the money honey I wouldn't have this pain, you'd have your CEO If ever you crawl back Come begging for a home Let me remind you I'm a railroad worker And you said I'm better off staying on my own Met this girl at the bar She said she don't live too far From where we worked on the Western line That night she went to the jail And paid her husband's bail But weren't just him that was doing time She was left all alone To feed the baby while he's gone Gave her up when she couldn't pay When he came home he beat her Her last resort to flee And drink the liquor just to bury her pain She said If only I had asked If only I had known I wouldn't have given him the time of day I'd've left him in jail, cussing his C.O. If ever he crawls back Says girl will you come home? Sorry boy that ship has sailed And I think I'm better off staying on my own Now Maria's my wife of 18 years We've got two kids of our own Between her story and mine We're sure full of advice I hope they take it when they're all grown The kids they took us to church I had to take off of work Don't they know that I'm missing pay? I was back pew grumblin' underneath my breath But that was over When He showed me the way If only I had asked If only I had known It was the blood on the tree that would set me free We didn't need no liquor to heal our souls And whenever I crawl back Say "Lord I've done you wrong" He points me to my sins that he nailed to the tree and says My Son is alive and they're dead and gone I can't seem to shake this feeling that I Got your perfect wrong As it turns out I'm right, but I am saved by The Light This railroad worker has found his home
