Nazareth - Gone Dead Train Lyrics
Its a gone dead trainYes, its a gone dead trainMy engine was pumpin steamAnd I was grindin at you hard and fastBurnin down the rails, tryin to heat the wayHaulin ass and ridin up the trackAnd I laughed at the conductor who was tellin me my coalIt would never lastBut then the fire in my boilerUp and quit before I cameAint no empty cellarLike a gone dead trainOnce was at a time when I couldMama shave em dryAnd raise a fever ice-down chillWaitin at the stationWith a heavy loaded sackSavin up and holdin just to spillShootin my supply through my demons eyeInstead of holdin my time, I hope I willBut then the fire in my boilerUp and quit before I cameThere aint no empty cellarNeeds a gone dead trainYes its a gone dead trainIm gonna teach it to learn now, nowIts a gone dead trainYes its a gone dead trainIm gonna teach it to learn now, nowIts a gone dead trainGonna teach it, gonna teach it to learnThere aint no easy dayWhen your daily runs a downhill pullAnd there aint no easy wayWishin for some jelly rollThere aint no switch been madeTo make your juicy lemon findA spring to run a dry well fullBut then the fire in my boilerUp and quit before I cameAint no empty cellarNeeds a gone dead trainYes its a gone dead trainIm gonna teach it to learnYou know its a gone dead trainGonna teach it, gonna teach it to burnIts a gone dead trainIts a gone dead train, you gotta learnIts a gone dead trainGonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.Words and music by jack nitzsche & russ titelman(copyright 1971 warner--tamerlane pub. corp.)International copyright securedAll rights reserved
