lirik lagu todd snider - play a train song
a smoke, a long black cadillac,
the engine’s winding down.
he’d park it up on the sidewalk
like he owned the whole d-mn town.
i’d hear him talkin’ to some chick
through a thick ghost of smoke,
through a thicker haze of southern comfort and c-ke,
say, girl you’re hotter than a hinge
hangin’ off the gates of h-ll.
don’t be afraid to turn to me,
babe, if he don’t treat you well,
and by he he meant me,
so i laughed and i shook his hand.
he’d laugh a little bit louder as he’d
yell up at the band:
play a train song,
pour me one more round,
make ’em leave my boots on when they lay me into the ground.
i am a runaway locomotive,
outta my one track mind,
and i’m lookin’ for any kinda trouble that i can find
i got this old black leather jacket
i got this pack of marlboro reds
i got this stash here in my pocket
i got these thoughts in my own head
the right to run until i gotta walk
or until i got to crawl
this moment that i’m in right now and nothing else at all
play a train song,
pour me one more round,
make ’em leave my boots on when they lay me into the ground.
i am a runaway locomotive,
outta my one track mind.
in the television blizzard lights
i looked around this place.
i found a cold beer on the sofa,
a little smile across his face,
and though i tried with all of my sadness,
somehow i could not just weep
for a man who looked to me like he died laughin’ in his sleep,
sayin’ a train song,
drinkin’ one last round.
we made ’em leave his boots on on the day they layed him down.
he was a runaway locomotive
out of his one track mind.
play a train song
play a train song
play a train song
