Me and That Train
It was Me And That Train
One night in Colorado
Driving out of Denver
I was following a shadow
Staring down the mountain
With my mouth wide open
Wondering why
I thought about the ocean
Up along the pass
The snow was blowing
On Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
Like the first time that I met you
You were holding up the sky
Leaning on your leather
And I saw her with you
And I thought you were together
Like that moment in question
Took a ten second answer
You were out the door
You were headed for me
Like Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of bitches
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
Like the night before Christmas
I was working downtown
A shopkeeper mistress
And a guy in a ski mask
Had a gun in his pocket
And he pointed to the safe
And he told me to unlock it
I put my jands in the air
And I laughed because I couldn't stop it
Just like Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of bitches
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
When I drove into the canyon
It was coming up the river
Like a long lost companion
And the walls went to heaven
Into endless darkness
But the train lit up the sandstone
Like a thousand pardons
Just then underneath me
And my beating heart was
Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of bitches
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of bitches
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
