Gone Dead Train (2010 Remaster)

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, tryna 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

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 a demon's eye

'Stead 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 you, gonna teach you to burn

You know it's a gone dead train

Yes, it's a gone dead train

I'm gonna teach it to learn, now, now, now

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach you, gonna teach you to burn

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 wool

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 you to learn, now, babe

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach you, gonna teach you to burn, burn

Yes, it's a gone dead train

It's a gone dead train, you got to learn

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach you, gonna teach you, gonna teach you to burn
