Like A Freight Train

(álbum: The Open Road - 2010)

Keep an eye on my blind spots
There's too many
Keep looking for some light
But there isn't any
Was top dead center baby
Now my motor's gone soft
I used to roll through here like a freight train
But my wheels come off

Got the ring my sister gave me
Said it was my mom's
The day she died of cancer
I stole her morphine and gone
Oh, I lived like a lion in Nashville
For a couple more years
I used to roll through here like a freight train
But I slipped my gears

I paid a price for everything
You can't play it down
They'll kick you off an empty boxcar
And leave you in this town
I only want the best for you
I passed it somewhere along the way
I used to roll through here like a freight train
Baby what can I say?

I had sunshine in my kitchen
Butter on my toast
Coffee brewed up in a loving cup
In the presence of the Holy Ghost
But I just kept coming and going
You couldn't stop crying
Used to roll through here like a freight train
Must've been outta my mind

Don't think you never got to me
Oh, baby you really did
Your love is all I ever think of
Hurts to keep it hid
But I'm not fooling anybody
Only myself for a while
I used to roll through here like a freight train
I used to make you smile
