Play a Train Song (Live)

[Verse 1] Smokin' long black Cadillac, engine winding down He’d park it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town I'd hear him talkin' to some chick through a thick ghost of smoke Through a thicker haze of Southern Comfort and Coke [Verse 2] "Say girl, you’re hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of hell "Don't be afraid to turn to me, baby, if 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 would yell up at the band to [Chorus] "Play a train song, pour me one more round "Make 'em leave my boots on on the day they lay me into the ground "I am a runaway locomotive, I'm out of my one track mind "And I'm a-lookin' for any kinda trouble I can find" [Verse 3] I've got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of Marlboro Reds I’ve got this stash here in my pocket, got these thoughts in my own head The right to run until I’ve gotta walk, 'til I’ve got to crawl Got this moment that I'm in right now and nothing else at all [Chorus] Play a train song and pour me one more round Make 'em leave my boots on the day that they lay me into the ground I am a runaway locomotive, out of my one track mind [Verse 4] 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 could never weep For a man who looked to me like he died laughing in his sleep [Chorus] Singin' a train song, drinking one last round Made ’em leave his boots on the day that they laid him down He was a runaway locomotive, he was out of his one track mind [Outro] Play a train song Play a train song Play a train song
