George Thorogood And The Destroyers - Gone Dead Train Lyrics
My engine was pumpin' the steam
And I was grindin' out you hard and fast
I was burnin' down the rails
To heat the way
Haulin' ass a-ridin' up the tracks
Who was tellin' me my coal would never last
When the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Once there was a time
When I could mama shave'em dry
And raise the fever ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station with a heavy-loaded sack
Shootin' my supply in my demon's eye
Instead of waitin' for the time to go by, well
When the fire in the boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
It's a gone dead train
You gotta teach it to burn
Yes, it's a gone dead train
You gotta teach it to learn
There ain't no easy way
To run a down-hill pull
And there ain't no easy way
Just wishin' for some jelly roll
Ain't no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full
'Cause the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Yes, gone dead train
You gotta teach it to burn
Well, it's gone dead train
You gotta teach it to learn
My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
I was burnin' down the rails
To heat the way
Haulin' ass a-ridin' up the tracks
And I laughed at the conductor
Who was tellin' me my coal would never last
When the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Need a gone dead train
Yeah, gone dead train
You gotta teach it to burn
It's gone dead train
You gotta teach to learn
Baby it's a gone dead train
