Well my rider done and left me,
Mama wouldn't even close the door.
Now I'm drunk and I'm ornery,
Sitting here on my dirty floor.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Now I'm broke and I'm hungry,
I've been out on the rails too long.
Got a mind that is worried,
That the end is coming up on me strong.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Well, if you see my old rider,
If you see her out on some Friday night,
Tell her I don't miss her.
Well, won't you tell her time has been treating me right?
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along, shine along,
Someday love is gonna take me home.
Shine along shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
