Play A Train Song
(专辑: East Nashville Skyline - 2004)
A
smoking long black Cadillac The
engine's winding down He'd park it up on the
sidewalk Like he owned the
whole damn town I'd hear him talking to some chick Through a
thick ghost of smoke Through a
thicker haze of Southern Comfort and coke "Say girl, you're hotter than the
hinges Hanging off the
gates of hell Don't be afraid to turn to me, babe If-a he don't treat you well" And by "he," he meant me So I
laughed and I
shook his hand He laughed a
little bit louder as he'd Yell up at the
band Play a
train song, pour me one more round Make 'em leave my boots on when they lay me into the
ground I
am a
runaway locomotive, out of my one track mind And I'm a-looking for any kinda trouble that I
can find I
got this old black leather jacket I
got this pack of Marlboro Reds I
got this stash here in my pocket I
got these thoughts in my own head The
right to run until I've gotta walk Or until I've got to crawl This moment that I'm in right now And nothing else at all Play a
train song, pour me one more round Make 'em leave my boots on when they lay me into the
ground I
am a
runaway locomotive, out of my one track mind In the
television, blizzard lights We looked around his place We found him cold there on the
sofa A
little smile across his face And though I
tried with all of my sadness Somehow I
just-a could not weep For a
man who looked to me like he Died laughing in his sleep Singing a
train song, drinking a-one last round We made 'em leave his boots on on the
day they laid him down He was a
runaway locomotive, out of his one track mind Play a
train song Play a
train song Play a
train song
