Train Bridge Blues (Best Damn Buy I Ever Made)

[Verse 1] Out in a field by the county line, Sits a rusted giant, left behind. Steel and soul, she’s weathered and proud, Waitin’ in silence, far from the crowd. [Chorus] Best damn buy I ever made, Steel bones shining through the shade. Call me stubborn, call it fate, Best damn buy I ever made. [Verse 2] She ain’t hauled freight since ’ninety-nine, But I see her gleam through dust and time. Folks called me crazy, laughed in spades— I said, “That bridge? Best damn buy I ever made.” [Chorus] Best damn buy I ever made, Rivets sing like a serenade. If you don’t see it, just you wait— Best damn buy I ever made. [Fiddle Break — 8 bars] [Verse 3] Maybe you can’t see what I believe, Dreams and rails up both our sleeves. One bolt at a time, I’ll make her shine, Span more than rivers—span through time. [Chorus] Best damn buy I ever made, Northern wind and a debt repaid. When daybreak hits that steel parade— Best damn buy I ever made. [Chorus — tag last line] Best damn buy I ever made, Best damn buy I ever made. [Outro — banjo tag]
