railroad blues
6 o'clock booze, in the mornin
froze to the bone
can't get warm
swing the hammer
ride the rails
all yer gonna get
is an empty pail
(chorus)
there's no help; yer 20 yrs old
yer freezer's empty except for the mold
got the Locomotive Blues
(bridge)
all I want for is a shot that's mine
all I really need is a chance to shine
workin for the man is using up my time
this is shaping up to be a really bad sign, well
(verse)
got to sneak around
in this Morose town
the rednecks'll rag ya
they're playin Merle Haggard
try to get some tail
ya wanna go ta jail?
(chorus)
there's no help; yer 20 yrs old
yer freezer's empty except for the mold
got the Locomotive Blues
(verse)
teeth are goin bad
drivin me insane
saved up for a dentist
he just caused more pain
head gasket's leakin
crankcase is seepin
took her for a ride
died of carbon monoxide
(chorus)
there's no help; yer 20 yrs old
yer fridge is empty except for the mold
got the Locomotive Blues
(repeat bridge)
