lyrics

Big Old Steam Train


Chorus
Sometimes I think maybe I will
Sometimes I think I won't
Heading for a ride, won't be the same
My heart's like a big old steam train

Verses
There’s a place that's set in the dining car
And the place that's called desire
And a knife and and fork they shimmer there
And the knife, never tire

I can’t afford a sleeper car
So I ride up in the back
I pick up all the troubles
Throw them into a gunny sack

I can't honestly tell ya
If i laugh or if I cry
I just cling on for dear life
Waiting for the end of the line

There's dust and soot
And sparks flyin' loose
And my mind is riding the caboose
There's crunching gears
Of the gambling cost
And black holes that I lost
