Letra Nobody knew his name John Hiatt

Nobody knew his name

A man in a Cadillac used to come around here
Looking for a long black train
Said bbay left town with an inginer
Streets across the midnight rain board
Street across the midnight rain

When he was pretty young
His buddy got killed with his rifle
Now he's fighting never on dawn
Now he's fighting never on dawn

Window begins the rain
Nightt so dark, there was nothing else shown
Nobody knew his name, boy
Nobody knew his name

Running once in a while
But he would be right back
With a cup of coffee and an old newspaper
Sitting by the side of tha tracks, boy
Crying by the side of the tracks

You tryin' to keep from turning the tablesI'm walking horses I would suffer dawns
But there was always some whiskey back in the stable
If you knew where to look around, boys
If you knew where to look around

Window begins the rain
Nightt so dark, there was nothing else shown
Nobody knew his name, boy
Nobody knew his name

And they paid for each one
Yeah, it didn't matter who won
Somebody gonna tip him well, boys
Somebody gonna tip him well

I found him in his Cadillac car
Right behind an old farm store
He was sitting there like we was going
And he wasn't coming back no more
And he wasn't coming back no more
