Me and That Train

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was me and that train One night in Colorado Driving out of Denver I was following a shadow Staring down the mountain With my mouth wide open Wondering why I thought about the ocean Up along the pass The snow was blowing On me and that train [Verse 2] It was me and that train Like the first time that I met you You were holding up the sky Leaning on your leather And I saw her with you And I thought you were together Like that moment in question Took a ten second answer You were out the door Well, you were headed for me Like me and that train [Chorus] And the trucks were sliding sideways Like sons of bitches They were putting on their tire chains Rolling into ditches And I crawled on by Like God was throwing the switches For me and that train [Verse 3] It was me and that train Like the night before Christmas I was working downtown Shopkeeper mistress And a guy in a ski mask Had a gun in his pocket And he pointed to the safe And he told me to unlock it I put my hands in the air And I laughed 'cause I couldn't stop it Just like me and that train [Chorus] And the trucks were sliding sideways Like sons of bitches They were putting on tire chains Rolling into ditches And I crawled on by Like God was throwing the switches For me and that train [Verse 4] It was me and that train When I drove into the canyon It was coming up the river Like a long lost companion And the walls went to heaven Into endless darkness But the train lit up the sandstone Like a thousand pardons Just then underneath me And my beating heart was Me and that train (Yeah) [Chorus] And the trucks were sliding sideways Like sons of bitches Putting on their tire chains Rolling into ditches And I crawled on by Like God was throwing the switches For me and that train Yeah, the trucks were sliding sideways Like sons of bitches They were putting on tire chains Rolling into ditches And I crawled on by Like God was throwing the switches For me and that train
