Yeah
I know it for sure
I know it for sure now
And there she is
Thanks
I gotta get there fast
That’s the trouble with the railroad
You always got to get there fast
She has dust on her toes
And toe nail polish
Little voice—little sweet and doesn’t know it
Krissakes, don’t hurt yourself
Always remember
When you try to go around proving you’re an adventurer of the American nights and you wanna hop freights, hang on, angel, with your tightest hand and don’t let your feet drag under that round wheel.
It’ll have less regard for your leg than it has for the toothpick in my mouth.
You think I’m afraid of a goddamn railroad train?
I’m going off to join the goddamn navy
I’ll land my airplane half on water and crash bang and jet to the moon too!
Good luck to you, guy
Don’t fall off—hang tight
Grip wrists—don’t fuck up
The train was starting to leave and the kid had disappeared
Exactly like a jockey on a wild horse to leave the track and fly up in the night
What a magnificent opening night it was for me to ride a fast run like that with a bunch of speed demons.
Loved it all.
Railroading gets in your blood.
