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
|
