It's a long way to Babylon with the crosses all along the trail
It's a long way to Babylon, I'll meet you there if you ever raise the bail
No ties that bind me anywhere, no man alive that I fear
Cuz it's a long way to Babylon and for now I'm fine staying here
You can hear that long lonesome whistle as the train pulls out again tonight
We can watch it as it goes in the sunset as it glows
I ain't a-ridin but who knows, tomorrow I just might
It's a long to Babylon and the climate suits me fine right where I am
Yes it's a long way to Babylon so I'll be here while the town still gives a damn
No timepiece I'm a slave to beyond Death's old auction block
Well it's a long way to Babylon but no rush for me to get down to the dock
You can hear that long lonesome whistle as the train pulls out again tonight
We can watch it as it goes in the sunset as it glows
I ain't a-ridin but who knows, tomorrow I just might
It's a long way to Babylon but I can't leave at a time like this
It's a long way to Babylon but the folks and wine are just too marvelous
I can make it in the morning, I can sleep when I'm dead
Cuz it's a long way to Babylon and tonight I'd rather be here instead
You can hear that long lonesome whistle as the train pulls out again tonight
We can watch it as it goes in the sunset as it glows
I ain't a-ridin but who knows, tomorrow I just might
