Cryin' in the Night

Heard you cryin’ in the night
Endless miles won't hide your pain
West Virginia’s a lonely sight
I’ll dry those tears when I meet you by the river tonight

Barge is chuggin’ on and on
Boxcar’s clacklin’ a rhythmic song
Trailer walls rumble through the din
Still I felt your sadness within

Heard you cryin’ in the night
Endless miles won't hide your pain
West Virginia’s a lonely sight
I’ll dry those tears when I meet you by the river tonight

Restless strangers, that’s all we may be,
Chasing ways too bold
Seeking warmth from others on the way
While our guilt runs cold

Waves are breakin’ on the shore
As one more barge chugs on like before
Guess I’ll just unseat my pride
‘Til I have you here by my side

Heard you cryin’ in the night
Endless miles won't hide your pain
West Virginia’s a lonely sight
I’ll dry those tears when I meet you by the river, tonight
See me there tonight
