Lyrics

I spend my days wandering by the railroad tracks
The days of my youth ain?t never coming back
Cause I?m old and tired just like these worn out shoes
I?ve got these poor mans, hopeless hearted blues

I?ll count these rail ties, one two three
Lose track of this wandering life, like it lost track of me
Now and then I?ll find a penny, but it won?t get me through
These poor mans, hopeless hearted blues

I left my hopes in a tin can
On a rail car long ago
Maybe some old fool will find them
And know which way to go

Whatever God planned for me I just never could tell
Am I walking to heaven, sure feels like hell
Cause I never had nothing I could use
But these poor mans, hopeless hearted blues
