Lyrics

Blood on the Tracks

[Verse 1]

Bad luck's gotten a hold'a me

It ain't takin' me down

Bad love's taken its toll on me

I'm gettin' up a'off the ground

Every minute every second

Of my life you tried to wreck it

Eight days a week

Every demon I've would chase

It took the fear of God to face it

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Standin' in the rain, waitin' on a train

I got a one way ticket, never turnin' back

Ridin' out the pain, burnin' in my brain

I'm gonna leave my sins in the past

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks

[Verse 2]

Sunrise blazin' ahead of me

On the edge of heaven and hell

Freedom's going to feel like amphetamines

Ringin' like the liberty bell

Everything I thought I needed

Cut me down and left me bleedin'

So bitter sweet

Every chance I ever wasted

Gonna grab it now and taste it

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Standin' in the rain, waitin' on a train

I got a one way ticket, never turnin' back

Ridin' out the pain, burnin' in my brain

I'm gonna leave my sins in the past

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks

[Chorus]

Standin' in the rain, waitin' on a train

I got a one way ticket, never turnin' back

Ridin' out the pain, burnin' in my brain

I'm gonna leave my sins in the past

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Ooh ooh ooh ooh woo

Like blood on the tracks
