Play A Train Song Tab

by Todd Snider


                        
Smokin long black catalac, engines windin down
 
Parked it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole darn town
   
I'd hear him talkin to some chick through a thicker haze of smoke
 
And a thicker haze of southern comfort and coke
 
He'd say girl your hotter than the hinges hangin of the gates of hell
 
Con't be afraid to turn to me babe 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'd yell up at the band

Chours:
 
PLay a train song, one more time for me
 
Make me leave my boots on when they lay me into the ground
   
I am a locamotive out of my one track mind
 
And i'm lookin for any trouble that I can find
(Repeat)

 
I got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of marblo red
 
I got this stash right here in my pocket, got my own thoughts in my head
   
I got to run until i got walk or until i got to crawl
  
This moment that i got right now and nothin else at all

  
While the television was blarin we looked around his place
 
We found him out cold with a smile cross that face
   
And though I tried with all my saddness i could not come to cry
  
And he looked to me like a man who died laughin in his sleep

 
Singin a train song, drinkin one last round
 
We made em leave his boots on when they layed deep him into the ground
  
He was a runaway locamotive out of his one track mind
 
Play a train song
 
Play a train song
 
Play a train song
