Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame Daddy was a-riding on the old death train
I had me a woman but she took my kid When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask This train done departed and it's goin' fast
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine And you'll never see any boy as brave as me Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice I found me a lover in a whorehouse wife She never knew her mama or the money I've known Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
You never walked in my shoes, you never understood Why I was escaping anyway that I could Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails 'Til the dark comes over this prison cell
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine And you'll never see any boy as brave as me Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
Well, the truth came out and the church burned down Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town I'm out here searching for that boy of my own Don't ever make a judgement if you ain't been shown
Oh the wheels, they spin, they're faster than a speeding aeroplane on a sunny day And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down a narrow line with a life like mine And you'll never see any boy as brave as me Yeah I hope that this old railroad delivers me
