"How I Wish My Train Would Come" lyrics - NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS

It's so hard to struggle, it's hard to survive
It's a struggle to stay alive
I keep fighting on 'til we arrive
I try to believe I will be received
Lord knows I'm ready to leave
Deliver me, I'm ready to leave
Please deliver me

How I wish my train would come
Carry me back home
How I wish my train would come

As you can tell, I'm not from here
I've got to get the hell away from here
I bid you a fare thee well
Dark is the night, Cold is the ground
No one to call friend can be found
No one to lend a helping hand can be found
No one gives a damn

How I wish my train would come
And carry me back home
How I wish my train would come

The rain pouring down
From the heavens above
Is cold as a mother's heart
I talk about trouble, it's my only friend'
I can smell the trouble blowin' in the wind
Only thing I put my faith in
I try to believe, It's hard to believe
There's a home out there for me
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave
Please deliver me, I'm ready to leave

How I wish my train would come
And carry me back home
How I wish my train would come
(Please deliver me)
And carry me back home
How I wish my train would come
(I'm ready to leave)
And carry me, back, home
How I wish my train would come
(Please deliver me)
And carry me back home
How I wish my train would come
(I'm ready to leave)
And carry me back home
How I wish my train would come
(Please deliver me)
And take me back home
