Coast to coast, and border to border, I've been in about every jail

One night around the Golden Gate, I caught a freight, and layin' in the bottom of the boxcar was a man
Named Billy Jack Washburn
Through the rain and the wind the train was flyin', I knew the man was layin' there dyin'

Me and the kid
But things weren't like they were before, I never had a friend jumpin' from the door

Just the love for a friend, and a friend he was, 'til I lost him

Sometimes old lady fate, she deals a terrible kiss
