like a freight train

keep an eye on my blind spots

there's too many

keep lookin' for some light

but there isn't any

was top dead center baby

now my motor's gone soft

i used to roll through here like a freight train

but my wheels come off

got the ring my sister gave me

said it was my mom's

the day she died of cancer

i stole her morphine and gone

oh

i lived like a lion in nashville

for a couple more years

i used to roll through here like a freight train

but i slipped my gears

i paid a price for everything

you can't play it down

they'll kick you off an empty boxcar

and leave you in this town

i only want the best for you

i passed it somewhere along the way

i used to roll through here like a freight train

baby what can i say?

i had sunshine in my kitchen

butter on my toast

coffee brewed up in a lovin' cup

in the presence of the holy ghost

but i just kept comin' and goin'

you couldn't stop crying

used to roll through here like a freight train

must've been outta my mind

don't think you never got to me

oh

baby you really did

your love is all i ever think of

hurts to keep it hid

but i'm not foolin' anybody

only myself for a while

i used to roll through here like a freight train

i used to make you smile
