Lyrics

I spent some early days outside of Little Rock
Where I'd slip the fence at night and tag the trains
And wonder if a thousand miles from anywhere
Someone I didn't know would know my name

It was quiet as the night beside those railroad cars
Sometimes black-eyed susans waving in the frame
I'd lose myself or fall asleep beneath the stars
And wake up sure of nothing but my name

Chorus:
Nothing but my name

A mistake I nearly pulled off north of Omaha
I just couldn't shake somebody off my trail
I passed a westbound train as I turned anywhere
And I swear I saw my tag above the rail

Sometimes I close my eyes and slip this prison cell
I run along the tracks and jump the train
And ride all night a thousand miles from anywhere
In a car that's tagged with nothing but my name

Chorus:
Nothing but my name
