This request is from 2001. With this song, it helps to know that cemeteries are often planted with pine trees. If you're going down a two-lane highway in America, and you see tall pines outlined against the sky on top of a hill, they are probably in a cemetery. Verses I've learned that are not in the DT Them long steel rails with short cross-ties gonna carry me far from home. That lonesome track gonna take me back where a man calls his soul his own. I kissed mama's cheek in a last goodbye, now I'm lonesome as I could be. For you gave me tears and wasted years for the love you took from me.
