Lyrics
Goodbye Tuscaloosa
Goodbye Birmingham
I'm leaving the Southland
Be back when I can
I got a mournful letter
From a love so far away
Heartbroken and lonesome
Was all that it said
We lived as lovers
Parted as friends
Though I never stopped yearning
For what might have been
I can feel my redemption
I can feel my time
Gotta find me a fast train
Like the Crescent No. 9
Southern Crescent
No. 9
There's a pain on the track
A fire in my soul
And love on the line
Well, off in the distance
Shine the lights of Baltimore
Oh, they cast a mighty shadow
Like I've never seen before
Speeding on through the darkness
Speeding on through the night
My poor heart is running wild
With dream and desire
Southern Crescent
No. 9
There's a pain on the track
A fire in my soul
And love on the line
Well, the wind at the station
Cuts right through my clothes
Four hours I've been waiting
And still I'm all alone
Then I fill up a letter
With words she didn't mean
With tragic intention
Of fateful heartbreak
Southern Crescent
No. 9
There's a pain on the track
A fire in my soul
And love on the line
Love on the line
