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
