Gone Dead Train

It's a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train My engine was pumpin' steam And I was grindin' at you hard and fast Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal It would never last But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Like a gone dead train Once was at a time when I could Mama shave 'em dry And raise a fever ice-down chill Waitin' at the station With a heavy loaded sack Savin' up and holdin' just to spill Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Needs a gone dead train Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a gone dead train Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now It's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn There ain't no easy day When your daily run's a downhill pull And there ain't no easy way Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made To make your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full But then the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Needs a gone dead train Yes it's a gone dead train I'm gonna teach it to learn You know it's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn It's a gone dead train It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn It's a gone dead train Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn. --- Gone Dead Train - Crazy Horse
