Fear of Trains

Lyrics

It was the army train that took her daddy from her
 It was the bible train that took her momma too
 And that high loud whistle made her horse run away
 But the straw the broke the camel's back was you
 It was the government train that took away her childhood
 It was the KKK that took away her past
 It was the white man's will that hers be broken
 But that barefoot girl could run too fast
 CHORUS:
 Because the world's too cold for a girl like that with a
 Blackfoot soul and a cowboy hat
 Everything she loved went down the dragon track
 She had a fear of trains
 BRIDGE:
 In the beet fields of Montana
 She's always coming on dead rails
 to break the plow and whisper "Honey,
 bound to live is bound to fail"
 And in a park in San Francisco
 her momma shrieks about the Lord
 And down the dead rails there's an echo
 The wind is whistling all-aboard
 CHORUS
 It was the wagon train that took away her country
 It was the oil train that took away her land
 She could have been the belle of the ponderosa
 but that was not the fat man's plan
 CHORUS
