Gone Dead Train Lyrics - Randy Newman

My engine pumpin' steam 

And I was grindin' at you hard and fast 

I was burnin' down the rails to heat the way 

Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track 

And I laughed at the conductor 

Who was tellin' me my coal would never last 

When the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

There ain't no empty cellar 

Need 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 

When the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

There ain't no empty cellar 

Need a gone dead train 

Yes, it's a gone dead train 

Got to help it to burn 

You know it's a gone dead train 

You got to teach it to learn 

There ain't no easy way 

When your daily run a downhill pull 

And there ain't no easy day 

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

When the fire in my boiler 

Up and quit before I came 

Ain't no empty cellar 

Need a gone dead train 

Yes, it's a gone dead train 

Got to help it to burn 

You know it's a gone dead train 

You got to teach it to learn 

You know it's a gone dead train 

Got to help it to burn 

You know it's a gone dead train 

You got to help it to learn 

Baby, it's a gone dead train 

Yes, it's a gone dead train
