God Sleeps In A Caboose

Lyrics

Hear that train rollin' down the track
 Passin' by this old shack
 Whistle blow and it blow again
 Just a lonely sound comin' through the wind
 And on those tracks, in an old boxcar
 My mind is racin' and a-travellin' far
 Far away
 Just ridin' on that train
 Big boss man, he work me awfully hard
 Liftin' freight out in his railroad yard
 But hungry kids need clothes and shoes
 And moms and dads need their pills and booze
 Pills and booze
 Just ridin' on that train
 Now maybe one day I'll climb up inside
 And in that old boxcar, I will ride
 Ride away
 I'll be ridin' on that train
 Now, can you hear me, Mister Engineer?
 It's not my place to push or interfere
 On your train
 I'm ridin' on your train
 This world is old and this world is mad
 Some people only missin' what they never had
 On your train
 I'm ridin' on that train
 Hear a drop of rain hit the windowsill
 Thunder rolls up behind the hill
 But tonight alone I got no sleep I've found
 I can hear that clock tickin' my seconds down
 Seconds down
 Ridin' on that train
 And if there's one thing people know is true
 Everybody here end up leaving you
 On that train
 Just ridin' on that train
 And over the hill where the full moon shine
 The only thing left is love you leave behind
 On that train
 I'm ridin' on that train
