Lyrics

Pain Train

[Chorus]

Train, coming too fast

Pain, is it really going to last

And you still refuse to see

We love the dollar more than the collar

That Daddy used to wear

We love to holler more than the dollar

So take us to the fair

[Chorus]

Train, coming too fast

Pain, is it really going to last

And you still refuse to see

We love the preacher more than the teacher

We used to have in school

We saw the teacher marry the preacher

Who do you think's the fool?

[Chorus]

Can't you hear it like a train, coming too fast

Pain, is it really going to last

(Refrain) And you still refuse to see x4

Solo

We love the dollar more than the collar

That Daddy used to wear

We love to holler more than the dollar

Won't you take us to the fair

You are like a train...
