Nazareth - Gone Dead Train lyrics

Your rating:

It's a gone dead train

Yes, it's a gone dead train



My engine was pumpin' steam

And I was grindin' at you hard and fast

Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way

Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track

And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal

It would never last



But then the fire in my boiler

Up and quit before I came

Ain't no empty cellar

Like a gone dead train



Once was at a time when I could

Mama shave 'em dry

And raise a fever ice-down chill

Waitin' at the station

With a heavy loaded sack

Savin' up and holdin' just to spill

Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye

Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will



But then the fire in my boiler

Up and quit before I came

There ain't no empty cellar

Needs a gone dead train



Yes it's a gone dead train

I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now

It's a gone dead train

Yes it's a gone dead train

I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now

It's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn



There ain't no easy day

When your daily run's a downhill pull

And there ain't no easy way

Wishin' for some jelly roll

There ain't no switch been made 

To make your juicy lemon find

A spring to run a dry well full



But then the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came

Ain't no empty cellar

Needs a gone dead train





Yes it's a gone dead train

I'm gonna teach it to learn

You know it's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn

It's a gone dead train

It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn

It's a gone dead train

Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.
