I hear a train a-comin', it's comin' down the track, it's comin' to fold some presents, to bring me a six-pack.
[C] It's nice to fold some presents, to warden's day [G] swells off, he say.
But when [D] I hear that old song, I feel like I'm [G] going to die.
When I was just a baby, my mama put me down, she said, you are just a baby, don't take your guns to town.
I [C] shot DJ up in Reno, he wouldn't play my [G] damn song.
[D] Now the DJs around the country, they play me loud [G] and long.
[D]
Keep me out of [G] your mouth.
I bet they're drinking in their fancy dining car, they're probably smoking whiskey, drinking black [C] cigars.
Honey, are you messing up?
I never get it right.
But when I [D] hear that old whistle, I feel like I could [G] cry.
If they free me from this prison, I'm going to make like Jesse James.
If y'all won't tell the warden, I'll steal this goddamn train, [C] break through the wall and close them, and make that whistle [G] cry.
[D] And if y'all be nice fellas, I'll take you [G] for a ride.
[D] [G] I'll take you for a ride.
