Penny On The Train Track Songtext / Lyric

I'm just a penny on the train track

Waiting for my judgment day

Come on baby girl, let see me those legs

Before I get flattened away

I wait, yeah I wait

For something good, for something great



Stopping in somebody's old hometown

Gotta get that midnight meal

If you can't get behind your own life

Get behind the driving wheel

And go, just go

Find a place that you don't know



Ran into a friend just the other night

Got a badge, he's a local cop

Haven't seen that boy in over seven years

Since outta high school I dropped

I see, I see

All the things that I should be






Even lucky man has a bad day

And pretty girl has a scar

After that train comes and takes me away

Pick up that guitar

And play, just play

Play that rock and roll for me



He's in the yard just washin' his car

Thinking about his pretty wife

Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid

Makin' him a perfect life

And it's grim, so dim

When you wish that you were just like him



I'm just a penny on the train track

Waiting for my judgment day

Come on baby girl, let me see those legs

Before I get flattened away



I wait, yeah I wait

For something good, for something great



And I try, oh I try

I can't stop, I don't know why
