That Train (Don't Stop Here)

He quit his job to rest his back
It's been 38 years since that
He pulls out a cigarette and strikes a match

And walks me down a hidden path
That leads to the railroad tracks
Just to watch trains go past

This is how he spends his time
Not too much different than how I spend my
Waiting for trains to go by

That train don't stop here, that train don't know
That train won't stop here, that train just rolls by

He flicked the ashes to the ground
Took another cigarette to his mouth
As he cursed his life, and spit it out

He tears open another pack
Twists off the top to a whiskey flask
Tilts his head and throws a shot back

He doesn't flinch like I would have
He figured out how to deal with that
It's just like everything you gotta hold back

That train don't stop here, that train don't know
That train won't stop here, that train just rolls by
