Lyrics:
And time stood still that winter day, man I was only 23
And as that first shot fired out, it happened all so slow
Running down the railroad bed with no
Back on the bottoms on the railroad bed
We'll be catching' them mudcat till we're dead
Keep checking that limb line
Keep fishin' em' all night
Put
Back on the bottoms on the railroad bed
We'll be catchin' them mudcat till we're dead
Keep checkin' that limb line
Keep fishin' 'em all night
Put 'em
know he was nothin' but a Missouri farm boy
Just fightin' to stay alive
High above that railroad bed
On a ridge where the pines grow tall
If you
fighting to stay alive.
High on above that railroad bed
On a ridge where the pines grow tall,
If you listen to the wind, there's a ghost of a chance
You can
numb
So many fights
So much nothing in the bed
So many railroads that don’t lead to anything
So much drama
So much that i never said
So many times
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will,
And it's ride, ride, ride.
Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man
Shot
I got a rhythm seated in my head
Same kind of rhythm that you get
When you're riding on a Santa Fe flat bed
Got a little tingle that's tingling
Down
Lazy Lazy Elsie Molly
A put the pack back on your back
Lazy Lazy Elsie Molly
Carry it on down to the railroad track
There's a girl down by
alone Danny and I got along as well We spent hours on the phone Just talkinÂ'on the phone When I was twenty and crazy as a joke I went to bed with
Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side
Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by
Watching the trains go
Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too!
Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too!
Well, I shouldn't be here trynna sing these railroad
no more
It was something she said
As she laid on my bed
Six or seven hours ago
I guess I was wrong
I really didn't think she would go
Railroad
something she said
As she laid on my bed
Six or seven hours ago
I guess I was wrong
I really didn't think she would go
Railroad she left me standing
Yesterday took the train but that shit was so slow
Fuck my wrist when I get rich, I'm buying iced out railroads
Ay, it's a while back home
But all my iced
When I go to sleep at night
Something in our bed just don't feel right
Is it something that you said?
Am I getting in my head?
I just need some
train a half-mile long
But I still think back to the railroad track
And that hobo's mournful song
Oh, where can a bum find bed and board?
When you gonna
A black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows
Come a looking direct towards
Boudleaux and me
I turned to boudleaux and me I said
Put the sugar to bed put
Well my mama told me, my papa told me too
Now my mama told me, papa told me too
Well I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues
If heavens where your soul gets fed
The your hell is an empty bed
But it's never hard to keep it full
There ain't too many arms you have to pull
Boxcar's my home, railroad my friend
It's been that way since I don't know when
I'm here today, tomorrow I'm gone
Where I hang my hat is where I call
Light weight wanna smash
The way you throwing that ass all in my face
Heavy weight in the bed
Heavy weight with the head
The way I'm putting my face all
and a case of beer
In the darkest hours of the night
Catching out in some forgotten railroad out on the plain
The foamers and the railfans the bull out in
Never seen horizons past these railroad tracks
Heading somewhere, anywhere but here
We're staring at the sun
The sun, the su-sun
We're staring
