"The Runnin Train"
(Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr.)
V1
I ain't a-feared of any knockin' on my door,
For the first time in twenty years or more.
See, I can walk down the street with my head hung high,
And watch that god-damned Runnin Train just roll on by.
CHORUS
Runnin' Train...
Runnin' Train...
V2
Been long the years that I claimed those boxcars mine.
Scratched my name in every one on line.
But tonite, I ain't a-runnin' from my crime.
'n I'll just wave, as that Runnin' Train rolls by.
CHORUS
V3
As I lay these tired bones in a bed,
My thoughts ride long with 'ol Benny, Skitch, and Fred.
I hear the whistle 'nounce their 'scapin' thru the night,
Exceptin' one, the Runnin' Train rolls by.
CHORUS
V4
Maybe you's wonderin' what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Iffin so, you ain't known the "ins" from "out".
It's two songs that a moanin' train sings when she blows.
And if you have to ask...God bless...you'll never know.
CHORUS
REPEAT V1
