lyrics

Junk Train

There’s a junk train runnin just south of town
Remindin’ me I gotta slow down
I been haulin’ this junk around for 55 years
Everything I picked up, blood, bone and tears

Men make plans while the Gods all Laugh
'cause nothin every works out like ya plan
Just listen to the little birds they keep singing
cell phones keep ringin' don’t answer it

I am broken I'm worn, I am old but not yet born
And I've written down my story on these pages that are torn
Just haulin' 'round these things I ain't never gonna need
like a junk train

I got a boxcar full of broken dreams
and my engine always runnin' out of steam
I’d trade a half a ton of things that I wish I hadn’t done
for a dollar's worth of decency in the Colorado sun

I am broken I'm worn, I am old but not yet born
And I've written down my story on these pages that are torn
Just haulin' 'round these things I ain't never gonna need
like a junk train

feel the iron steel of the junk train bin
well the rust eats the paint so you paint it up again
and these dark clouds they lash and they lie
and they'll pull you down I say they pull you down
like a junk train runnin' away

And you know you’re gettin older like that train off the tracks
And the doc says man you can’t keep living like that
Is your life so precious that you can't live
do you have so much you can’t can’t give anything away

Put everything you have on a fast train
Punch the ticket and send it away on a junk train

On a junk train
On a Junk train
