A Train Not Running

The sound of a train not running
 Has been keeping me awake
 The Westmore land mine ain't run much coal
 Since back in '88
 Got on at the sawmill
 But I've got to find a better way
 Or the sound of a train not running
 Is gonna carry me away
 And every time you look at me, Mary
 I want to tell you someday
 We'll leave the sound of a train not running
 A thousand miles away
 I don't want to risk my freedom
 Growing crops on company land
 But it'd be a damned sight better
 Than a government check in my hand
 I used to bring home good money
 You used to drive a decent car
 But now we go to town on Saturday
 It seems a little too far
 And every time you look at me, Mary
 I want to tell you someday
 We'll leave the sound of a train not running
 A thousand miles away
 Now some nights when our baby cries
 I feel a twinge of fear
 When the sound of a train not running
 Is the only thing I hear
 And every time you look at me, Mary
 I want to tell you someday
 We'll leave the sound of a train not running
 A thousand miles away
