Smokin' long black Cadillac, the engine's windin' down He'd park it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town I'd hear him talkin' to some chick through a thick ghost of smoke Through a thicker haze of Southern Comfort and Coke He'd say, Girl you're hotter than the hinges hangin' off the gates of Hell Don'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 Chorus 1: 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'm a-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 I got to run until I got to walk or until I've got to crawl This moment that I'm in right now and nothing else at all [ Chorus (sans the last line) ] And the television 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 of my sadness somehow, I just a could not weep For a man who looked to me like he died laughin in his sleep Chorus 2: Singin a train song, drinkin' him 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
