It was a very cold September Colder than I'd ever care to make it I had a kind of empty feeling But no place to go where I could take it
So I took a walk beside the railroad tracks And I thought about the facts of my life And of my sometime, somewhere wife
At times like this I lose my head and think of her Empty spaces always ask for filling I wonder why I never stopped to marry her It wasn't 'cause she was not more than willing
Walking puts a window to my mind And brings thoughts about this kind of a life Without my sometime, somewhere wife
I guess I walked about a mile and maybe some And I come upon a rusty railroad crossing And suddenly I knew that time had come again The winter wind had set the trees to tossing
So I returned to where I'd left my stuff Yes, I knew I'd had enough of my life Without my sometime, somewhere wife
I got to find her, I've got to find her I got to find her, I've got to find her I've got to find my lady, got let her know, I don't know why I let my lady go I got to find her, I've got to find her I've got to find her
