Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me |
|
Like all along I've been learning how to live |
|
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea |
|
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin |
|
Looking back on my life now at some of the things I done |
|
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame |
|
I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker |
|
On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train |
|
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow |
|
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind |
|
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow |
|
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin |
|
Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming |
|
Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound |
|
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin |
|
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down |
