The Train Song
Daddy took a bullet from a scab in West Virginia Mama took the family and she drove to Albuquerque My sister took a job, got sent to fight across the border My brother keeps my mama, her grief took half her mind So I send them home some money from the odd jobs that I find
No one came knockin' at my door with loving on their mind The only knocks I ever got were of the hurting kind So I keep on moving on down the line One foot ahead of trouble But trouble's all this body ever finds One step forward, two steps back Trying to get across the railroad track Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com One step forward, two steps back Trying to get across the railroad track And there's a train a-comin', there's a train a-comin' There's a train a-comin', I want to ride
I've seen the eyes of prison guards staring at my body I've known the arms of strangers who left money on the table I've stood for hours putting pears and apples into boxes I'm afraid to see my mama, I may lose half my mind So I send them home some money from the odd jobs that I find
