Who's the fool sittin' on the track?
One eye straight, one lookin' back
Wastin' time waitin' on the day
The ghost train come take you away
Ain't got the brains you were born with, brother
Blame it on the world, blame it on your mother
But count your pennies before you go back
To gamble with the devil in the railroad shack
You got to...
and then you...
Who's the fool howlin' at the moon?
Empty bottle since the afternoon
Hear that whistle comin' 'round the bend
The ghost train come, take you to the end
Ain't got the brains you were born with brother
Blame it on the world, blame it on another
But boy you better wear your good shoes
When you're dancin' with the devil in the caboose
You got to..
And then you..
You to...
And then ya...
Here we go
Who's the fool goin' "clang-clang-clang"
Headin' out aboard that train
Ain't nobody wonder who you are
By the time they count that last box car
Ain't got the brains you were born with brother
Blame it on the world, blame it on your father
But boy, there won't be no turnin' 'round
When the lights go on and the arm goes down
You got to...
And then you...
You got to...
And then ya...
Here we go
