Racing The Train
©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies-Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I'm racing the train to the crossroads

To find out if I'm still alive

I'm racing the train to the crossroads, baby
I'm racing with the devil tonight

And no matter if I live or die when I make 
it to the other side

You'll still be gone and I'll be alone
 so I'm already dead inside

I can hear that whistle blowing

I guess it's time to turn the key

Ain't nothing left in this old town,
 Ain't nothing left for me

About a mile out it's coming like a
 demon belching fire

And I got my motor running,
 gonna race it to the wire

And the road is dark and lonely
 and the moon is shining bright

But without you here to hold me

There's no reason left tonigh
t

I can see the red lights flashing

I can see your pretty fac
e
I got the pedal to the metal

Win or lose, I ran the race

And I gave it everything I had, 
I guess that you did to
o
And I never loved anyone as much as I love you

But somewhere babe I don't know when

We threw it all away

Now that whistle's blowin' loud and clear

It's calling out my name


I loved you then and I love you now

And I wish I could turn this car around

But the devil's holding my foot down
and that Conrail's here and it's
shaking the ground

And the lights are flashing red now

And I can hear everything you said now

But you're in someone else's bed now

So there's nothing left for me
No there's nothing left for me

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
