Vance Gilbert
King of the Rails
[Verse 1]
If you don’t love me
Then you don’t love me
There’s nothing I can do or say
Your heart has a
Mind of it’s own
That I can’t change

[Verse 2]
And if you don’t want me
You really don’t want me
Please let’s dispense with
The kiss on the cheek so long
And I’ll face the cold setting sun
On my own

[Chorus]
Once upon a time the
King of the rails
Lay his head down on the track
Listening for the rumble of the 7:15
As it made its way back
To no one that mattered
Mmm

[Verse 3]
If you don’t need me
I can’t make you need me
If anyone will
I’m sure you’ll do fine on your own
Oh pardon mе, I didn’t know
That you weren’t alone
[Chorus]
Oncе upon a time the
King of the rails
Lay his head down on the track
Listening for the rumble of the 7:15
As it made its way back
To no one that mattered
No one that mattered
Made its way on back
To no one
No one that mattered
Mmm
