Eugene To Yuma
Lyrics
Makin' way from Eugene to Yuma Thought we'd try by train Let an old drunkard claim We'll take the Hotshot straight to LA When we got to the freight yard The old man didn't have one thing to say After a drunken fight Spent the night, still in Eugene I talked to the brake man He said, "the fourth track is your train, man But you're gonna need to make a switch in Roseville, California" There'll be a mission 'till you're west-bound Through a golden valley Sleeping in an alley Bakersfield, we played for the people there Some folks'd stop and stare "What them white boys doin' in this part of town?" Colton, California Four days we would be there Took a while, stole a smile, but we made it out Up over the mountain ridge Just past the iron bridge There's a big yard Them yard boys were hard, the ground was white Just like Desperado said High upon a hill, a man named Will Pointed me which way to go "Middle track's straight to Yuma, left track's back to Bakersfield And that loop on the right, they call that the LA Turnaround Boy, you find yourself on that, better get off quick" Well it was late at night and we were sleepin' tight Woke up to some bright lights 'Cause we were sleeping clean in sight It was three yard-boys wanting to know if we were killers See, two weeks prior to arriving to Yuma Some tramp shot two boys dead That was Eugene to Yuma Just Eugene to Yuma Eugene to Yuma That was Eugene to Yuma Just Eugene to Yuma Eugene to Yuma Eugene to Yuma
