Sittin' by the window and my sins are on the brain You can hear it come for miles, the rumble of an old freight train It's rolling on from Carson City, Ten thousand tons in tow And heading on to Georgia, by way of San Antonio The folks call her Ol’ Diesel And she’s going where my heart wants me to go Now, some are in for murder Some more for petty crimes Politicians, cheats, and businessmen, we’re all stuck doing time The warden says to count our blessings, at least it ain’t death row But what you’d do to be there, lord, I don’t care to know When I hear Old Diesel calling I just let my sinnin’ head hang low Now I once had a lady Way down in New Orleans She had a couch that slept so fine, and Satellite TV Then one fateful night I found that she had gone away She’d run right off to Reno, and she says she’s gonna stay So I set off with purpose, set to kill the man who dared to take my babe I hear the clock strike Twelve, I see the burning moon These walls just can’t keep me So this cell I’ll be breakin’ soon ‘Cause heaven’d never take me And here in hell there ain’t no room
