Gone Dead Train

Lyrics

My engine was pumpin' steam And I was grindin' at you hard and fast I was burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track So I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal It would never last When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train Once was at a time when I could, mama, shave 'em dry And raise a fever from an ice-down chill Waitin' at the station with a heavy loaded sack Savin' up and holdin' just to spill Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye Instead of waitin' for my time, I hope I will When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train You know it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now You know it's a gone dead train You gotta teach it to learn now There ain't no easy way When your daily run's a downhill pull And there ain't no easy day Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made to let your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full Then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train You know it's a gone dead train You got to help it to burn now You know it's a gone dead train Gotta teach it to learn now You know it's a gone dead train You got to help it to burn now You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn now You know it's a gone dead train You got to help it to burn now You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn now You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn now You know it's a gone dead train
