Mountain Annie

Well, I went down to the train yard
Looking to forget you
And I laid my head down on the rail
Well, these tracks they must run near you
'Cause I swear that I could hear you singing
And I wish I couldn't sing
Since you been away
Well, I don't feel like I know myself
Yes, and when I get to thinkin' 'bout it
It just turns to drinking 'bout it, over and over again

Oh why, oh why
Do I let myself cry over you?
When I call out your name
You don't do the same, now, do you?
Get out of my head
Give me back my heart, Mountain Annie

Oh why, oh why
Do I let myself cry over you?

When I call out your name
You don't do the same, now, do you?
Get out of my head
Give me back my heart, Mountain Annie

Now in the flicker of a candle's flame
Smoke that rises spells your name
And then it disappears
And my heart's grown tired of beating
And my lips are tired of speaking, so I won't
And the sky must know
The way that these things going
Because it's raining like it's never gonna stop
And if this flood comes running through
Lord, I hope I can float away from you and break these chains

Oh why, oh why
Do I let myself cry over you?
When I call out your name
You don't do the same, now, do you?
Get out of my head
Give me back my heart, Mountain Annie
Get out of my head
Give me back my heart, Mountain Annie
