Train Wreck

album: Step by Step (1990), track 11 of 14
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

I got wings on my dollars, wheels on my shoes
Through the hills and hollers, down the ruts and grooves
The curves are tight and the rail don't go through
This old train's a runaway, way long overdue
 CHORUS
   Feel like a train wreck
   Way far off the mainline
   Feel like a train wreck
   Way far off the mainline
   It's making me crazy
   Letting this train wreck my mind
Traveling by surface barely getting by
Every earthly pleasure's already been tried
I got an empty hunger that can't be satisfied
Got to find a way to jump this track and fly
 CHORUS
Yeah, I been tramping, pretending I was free
Boulder to Sedona, a hobo on a spree
The side track, the cul de sac about to get to me
Give me downtime, Jim, let this old engine be
 CHORUS
   Feel like a train wreck
   Way far off the mainline
   Feel like a train wreck
   Way far off the mainline
   I can't believe my brain let
   This old train wreck my mind
It's making me crazy
Letting this train wreck my mind
It's making me crazy
Letting this train wreck my mind
