"Freight Train Of Trouble" lyrics

Now when you get a big train runnin', it sure is hard to stop
And when I get to drinkin', Lord, I drink up every drop
That demon engineer shovels his coal all day long
When the moon is drippin' from the sky, he really pours it on

There's a freight train of trouble on my back
As long as I keep livin', they keep layin' down new track
No matter how far ahead I get, somehow it always feels
Like there's a freight train of trouble on my heels

Now, Lord, won't you tell me, tell me, what will it take
To outrun this ton of boxcar lies chained to my mistakes?
I can hear temptation blowin' like a whistle in the wind
Just when you think that coast is clear, it comes roarin' through again

There's a freight train of trouble on my back (Uh)
As long as I keep livin', they keep layin' down new track
No matter how far ahead I get, somehow it always feels
Like there's a freight train of trouble on my heels

There's a freight train of trouble on my back (Uh)
As long as I keep livin', they keep layin' down new track
No matter how far up ahead I get, somehow it always feels
Like there's a freight train of trouble on my heels
There's a freight train of trouble on my heels
