Rancid - Daly City Train Lyrics

Love this song ....and I sang when I was in senior high school

He's shooting dope in the bedroom

Best bassline ever

He was an artist and a writer
And a poet and a friend
In a man's life he will take a fall
But how low he goes, it just depends
He's shooting dope in the mens' room
At the station Daly City Train
Have you ever seen an angel, well I know I have
You see, they stay here for a while, then they fly away

Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know, he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here

Some grow up and some grow old
But what about the kid who never learned the rules
Spent all these years on this earth
When you look back it's just a flicker of time
Jackyl was one of the ones that perished
Yeah, he was one of the ones that was already saved
Through all this evil and wreckage, yeah
He maintained a sense of himself

Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know, he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here

Some men are in prison although they walk the streets at night
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight
How about the hour in the system that ended
In a one-way line, our measures could not stand it

Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know, he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here

Still loving rancid 8/2019

Some grow up and some grow old... but what about the kid who never learned the rules?

I wonder why they never released this one as a single, it's such a good song.

Nothing quite likes opposing this song while on the Daly City bart train

Became a fan of this band in 2018..
yes I’m young as fuck but still just goes to show man we’re still out here. My fav rancid tune!

Marshall Adams i became a fan around 2015 so I get it! We’re keeping the good music alive

An ode to that ONE guy everybody knew.

I feel TRULY joy listen this song.

im in love with heroin and never want to stop

is this song about Ben Zanotto?

I used to have this album in middle school and wonder what this song was about. Now I'm 27 and my best friend from middle school is dead from shooting dope; I know exactly what this song is about.

Shit dude that sucks, I'm really sorry to hear it. I know what you mean. Won't go into detail.

Ke grande RANCID.

I love you and miss you saul... music always brought our family and us together......... This song will always remind me of you... I love you and miss you... r.i.p Saul Santos!

miss you bro

John Shahidi why????

This ones for the crazy motherfucker who actually died on the Daly city bart, R.I.P man, It's all sorts of fucked.

ya man defitily

This song is a little similar to The Toasters' Razor Cut and I always imagine this song's melodic guitar over it.

...And out come the wolves

Jeriah and Ryan. We will miss you both...

I love this song but it's really sad

This ones for you Zach, miss you bro. RIP

It's about one of their specific friends. Not you.

n lonG memorY..

After years I still love this song.

because tim would have to play his guitar

in a mans life, he will take a fall...

BART train to SF all day!

artisli4e word... you can always jump the gate as you exit after paying for one stop. Just run and tell those rent-a-cops “don’t shoot” and keep running... of course, it works better with a bicycle.

heh , " their bassist " Matt Freeman was a bass icon in the 90s to all punk kids, they where one of my favs , but you should try 88 fingers louie you can find them on here they where amazing and basslines where of the same caliber

Ha ha what do that y know ? Used to put my bike over the turnstile, ride off, and if ms. Piggy whistled... id say "don't shoot" and keep ridin. Those where the days back when I was broke. Haha

such an awesome song - very upbeat and positive althout it's about a guy who died apparently

Devils suck....Just saying lol. When the F* will rancid come state side?

24th Mission Train!!!! burrito&CaptainmorganSpicedRum+Mo Dew!!!

This song reminds me of a friend of mine. He passed away 5 years ago today, at the age of 18.

their basist is amazing

super underrated.

weeeerrrrr

TU mama!!! washawara

JACKYLL HAD A BEAR IN HIS HAND THE LAST TIME I SEEN HIM!

@VitaminJoint Great choice!

Do they not play this live or is it just not on youtube cos I'd love to see em play it

I’ve seen em play it twice live

Wicked album. One of the best ever made. Sick tune!

When I die, I want this played at my funeral.

Why does everyone keep writing that comment? It's about one of their friends. Not You.

Oh my god ...punk rock never die

this song in astoria, london, just before it got brought down. Also saw gbh that same evening, how can you fucking top that, good times.

This song is my anthem cuz i am a junkie and i never figured the bullshit it would bring you doing ok now still love rancid

I used to rock this song while growing up in Michigan. Now that I live in SF, I ride Daly City trains all the time, with a beer in my hand, and I never think twice of going back.

@ necrOothic: i'm in love with 'em since the age of 9. now i'm 21. They're the only love that never betrayed me.

reminds me of my stepdad.

i wish i could say this wasn't a reminiscent song about too many of my past and former friends.
