What is this song? (Almost OT as it's not an Irish song) :)

Okay, I have this song that I heard about six years back and it’s been stuck in my head lately, but I have no idea what it is called or who sings it which is starting to bug me. I have searched the internet, posted to other boards, no luck. I would love to be able to buy a copy of this song, but that’s a bit hard to do until I know the name and who sings it. From what I remember, it’s guitar accompanyment with a couple of guys singing it. Here are the lyrics to the best I can recall… I hope someone else out there has heard this as I know I didn’t just imagine it. Thanks!

Sundown settin’ on a rail road track.
My thoughts are turning and I won’t be back.
And now I’m thinkin’ on the good times gone.
And how this train, will be moving on.

There’s so much here, for my destiny.
And now what’s happend, to the rest of me?
So step onto my memory train.
Enjoy the scenery and all that comes your way.

(Chourus:)
Because this train I’m on, won’t be traveling long.
There’s a stop along the way for everyone.
And when you step down from that big ol’ memory train.
Your bags a little heavier, but your hearts about the same.

As I stand here, and search the night.
Suddenly I see my dreams come into sight.
Across the distance I have come to meet the train.
And now I’l be moving on, once again.

(Repeat Chourus)

And now as I hear that sound again.
I think on all the good times, and my old friends.
How many memories, how many heartbreaks,
How many memory trains, will go rolling on?

Sunny, try posting it to www.mudcats.org

I would bet a Susato that you’d have your answer in under 12 hours. And I’d bet a Gen you’d have that answer in less than ONE if you post at a high volume time (rather than 3 in the am EST for example).

Never mind…I couldn’t resist and posted it there myself…let’s see what they find!

Thanks Tyghress! But the I can’t get the link you gave to work, and I am not familiar with the board you mentioned and am having troubles finding it. help Was there ever any reply?

:slight_smile: Sara (who would have replied earlier to this post if her computer hadn’t of died shortly after posting)

Try http://www.mudcat.org/ It’s a killer resource for songs, lyrics etc

I posted it…but didn’t even get any nibbles…first time the 'catters haven’t come through for me!

Sorry, Sunny

Well, it was worth a try anyway. I am still amazed out of the thousands out there who view these boards, that no one has heard this song. It must be an extrordanarily obscure song. I just posted to the other board a bit, and like I said there, I can recall the song quite clearly in my mind, could even sing it, but I would much rather hear them (whoever they are) sing it. Well, at least you guys introduced me to another cool message board. sigh Someday…

Same question on LyricsProvider.com in September 2002…no online replies, but there is an email address. A long shot, but maybe she got a direct reply?

Did cross my mind it might be :slight_smile: Full marks for tenacity…

I know this was forever ago, but I’m still interested in knowing who sings that song. From the looks of it, It might be a few months before I get a reply. Sara, you wrote the song down near perfectly! I have this song on my computer without a title or artist, and It’s killing me. If you want it, I’m sure I can send it along. I’m also looking for a song that I posted at AZ lyrics.
