From Stanton Station
(专辑: Looking Glass - 1972)
I
used to work for the
New Jersey Railroad I
got laid off 'cause the
times weren't good My unemployment sixty-five dollars Sixty-five dollars don't buy what it should I
have a-a weakness for 80-proof whiskey Lately I'm drinking a
bottle every day Messing my mind up, lord, it's wrecking my body But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away I
used to be a
railroad man, and I'm damn proud of it, too I
did more work in a
working day, than any two men could do Foreman said I
drink too much and I
guess it's half-way true I
drink half as much as my daddy did, and twice as much as you I
used to have me a
good looking woman Loved her and kept her, and called her my own She started packing when I
started drinking Now I'm drunk, and I'm busty, and I'm angry all alone I
used to be a
railroad man, and I'm damn proud of it, too I
did more work in a
working day, than any two men could do Foreman said I
drink too much and at last I
know it's true But I'm too far gone to change now, ain't nothing I
can do
