lyrics

Whiskey’s on the table and the bible’s by the bed
There’s a lost and drunken Sunday for every verse you never read
Open that old suitcase and you check it one more time
Still got that old thirty-eight, it gives you a piece of mind
Leave the keys there on the table, you ain’t coming back this time

Your train is leaving round that bend

Down in Chattanooga, it was the second time around
Still hunting that same old ghost, the one you never found
And your memories are fading just as fast as that money that you stole
You can fit back all the pieces but that’ll never make you whole
Well, she married a wealthy rancher and lives in a million-dollar home

Her train, it came around that bend

Woke up to the evening news and you heard just what they said
A dealer found dead in Memphis with a gunshot to his head
And you never though they’d miss him so you left him there for dead
Left those thirty kilos and took all that cash instead
Now you’re flying high but you’re laying low til the manhunt finally ends

You train’s about to come around that bend

The men came up from Texas seeking vengeance for their friend
They found you in the parking lot of the Mountain Valley Inn
And they called their boss, “Ell Perro”, ‘cus he can track them every time
Now your body’s stuffed inside a box filled with orange peel and lime
Way back in a boxcar rolling down the line

Your train is leaving round that bend
You know your train is leaving round that bend
