lyrics

pass me that whiskey
before I go insane
whether your with me or not
I'm getting on that train
cause the demons in my head are screaming
I'm drowning them in bourbon
and the lesson I'm learning
I hope I never forget
but the way I've been living and drinking
that aint to sure of a bet

we knows these roads
and we road these rails
in n out of jail cells
and 48' wells
53 times this year, I've come so near
to falling apart
mending myself together I havent got far
well I cant keep a steady hand
in a boxcar

to the engineers that drive me
from mind state to state
well I hope you dont mind
a little bit of extra weight
on your mind
to the railroad bulls that patrol
the old rusty freight
well I got myself a gift
it a brand new can of paint
and it might be your trainyard
but thats my train
and it might be your trainyard
but thats my fucking train

couple our knuckles together and lets start rolling
couple our knuckles together and lets start pulling
crack the lid off the bottle and lets start pulling
tie the rope around his neck and lets start pulling
pull the emergency brake
until the rails are red and glowing
smoking like an old steam train
smoking like an old steam train
