SONG:Gone Dead Train

It's a gone dead train
yes, it's a gone dead train
My engine was pumpin' steam
and i was grindin' at you hard and fast
burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
and i laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
it would never last
But then the fire in my boiler
up and quit before i came
ain't no empty cellar
like a gone dead train
Once was at a time when i could
mama shave 'em dry
and raise a fever ice-down chill
waitin' at the station
with a heavy loaded sack
savin' up and holdin' just to spill
shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
instead of holdin' my time, i hope i will
But then the fire in my boiler
up and quit before i came
there ain't no empty cellar
needs a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
i'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
it's a gone dead train
yes it's a gone dead train
i'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
it's a gone dead train
gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn
There ain't no easy day
when your daily run's a downhill pull
and there ain't no easy way
wishin' for some jelly roll
there ain't no switch been made
to make your juicy lemon find
a spring to run a dry well full
But then the fire in my boiler
up and quit before i came
ain't no empty cellar
needs a gone dead train

yes it's a gone dead train
i'm gonna teach it to learn
you know it's a gone dead train
gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
it's a gone dead train
it's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
it's a gone dead train
gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.
