Play a Train Song Lyrics

Play A Train Song ? Todd Snider

Intro: G D Em C
Smokin long black Cadillac, engine's 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 you're hotter than the hinges hangin off the gates of hell
Don't 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
Make'em leave my boots on on the day they lay me down
I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind
And I'm 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 I've got walk or until I got to crawl
At this moment that I'm 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 made'em 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
