Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Smokin long black Cadillac, engines windin down
Parked 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
He'd say girl youre hotter than the hinges hangin off the gates of hell
Dont be afraid to turn to me baby if a 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 would yell up at the band
Chorus
Play a train song, pour me one more round
Makeem leave my boots on on the day they lay me down
I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind
And Im lookin for any kind of trouble that I can find
I got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of Marlboro reds
I got this stash here in my pocket, got these thoughts in my own head
I got to run until Ive got walk or until I got to crawl
At this moment that Im in right now and nothin else at all
Chorus
And 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 my sadness somehow I could never weep
For a man who looked to me like he died laughin in his sleep
Singin a train song, drinkin one last round
We madeem leave his boots on on the day they laid 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
