Gone Dead Train

Lyrics

My engine pumpin' steam And I was grindin' at you hard and fast I was burnin' down the rails to heat the way Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track And I laughed at the conductor Who was tellin' me my coal 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 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 holdin' 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 Yes, it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn There ain't no easy way When your daily run a downhill pull And there ain't no easy day Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made To make your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn You know it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to help it to learn Baby, it's a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train
