Like A Freight Train Lyrics - The Open Road - John Hiatt

Keep an eye on my blind spots 

There's too many 

Keep lookin' for some light 

But there isn't any 

Was top dead center, baby 

Now my motor's gone soft 

I used to roll through here like a freight train 

But my wheels come off 

Got the ring my sister gave me 

Said it was my mom's 

The day she died of cancer 

I stole her morphine and gone 

Oh, I lived like a lion in Nashville 

For a couple more years 

I used to roll through here like a freight train 

But I slipped my gears

Oh, I paid a price for everything 

You can't play it down 

They'll kick you off an empty boxcar 

And leave you in this town 

I only want the best for you 

I passed it somewhere along the way 

I used to roll through here like a freight train 

Baby, what can I say? 

I had sunshine in my kitchen 

Butter on my toast 

Coffee brewed up in a lovin' cup 

In the presence of the Holy Ghost 

But I just kept comin' and goin' 

Yeah, you couldn't stop cryin' 

Used to roll through here like a freight train 

Must've been outta my mind 

Photos 

Don't think you never got to me 

Oh baby, you really did 

Your love is all I ever think of 

Hurts to keep it hid 

But I'm not foolin' anybody 

Only myself for a while 

I used to roll through here like a freight train 

I used to make you smile
