Smokin' in a black Cadillac, the engine's winding down He parked it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town I'd hear him talking to some chick Through a thick ghost of smoke, through a thicker haze of summer-comforting Coke He'd say, "girl, you're hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of hell Don't be afraid to turn to me, babe, if he don't treat you well" And by "he" he meant me, so I laughed and I shook his hand He laughed a little bit louder, see the yeller past the band Play a train song Pour me one more round Make 'em leave my boots on When they lay me into the ground I am a runaway locomotive Out of my one-track mind And I've been looking for any kind of trouble that I can find I got this old black leather jacket I got this pack of Marlboro Reds I got this stash here in my pocket I got these thoughts in my own head To write, to run on till I gotta walk Until I've got to crawl There's a moment that I'm in right now And nothing else at all Play a train song Pour me one more round Make 'em leave my boots on When they lay me into the ground I am a runaway locomotive Out of my one-track mind In the television and 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 just could not weep For, man, it looked to me Like he died laughing in his sleep Singing a train song Drinking 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
