crack of dawn, the rooster moans
|
wake up boy, you're far from home
|
serpentine, the tracks in flames
|
longest path the devil laid
|
led you straight aboard this rusty train
|
|
lift your head because you can't sleep
|
bite your lip because you can't eat
|
darkest den the devil made
|
Jesus weeps but he's been paid
|
not to ride inside this rusty train
|
|
buzzard's breath, the rooster moans
|
stow it boy, you're far from home
|
stow your sorrow, stow your fear
|
what did you do to end up here?
|
end up on the devil's rusty train
|
