Ain't No Driver

Got a steel chrome chassis
To save me from these blues
Got a heart that's still mending
What's little left to lose

Feeling sorta' hungry
Feeling kinda' sick
Another nights companion
Or just another fix

And I'm feeling sorta' helpless
Like a train that jumps the tracks
Ain't nobody on this engine
Ain't nobody coming back

Another reckless evening
Full speed ahead
I've been drinking with the devil
And lying in his bed

And there
Ain't no driver on this train. No, no, no
There ain't no driver on this train.

Total lack of concentration
As I stumble down the tracks
No sense of direction
Just an empty drunken past

I look upon this face
I hardly recognize the man
With lines across his forehead
And blisters on his hands

And I gather my belongings
Just to throw them on the fire
Stoking up the engine
Just to drown the Devil's choir

Feeling like chosen
To play the victims part
Twenty tons of steel
Wrapped around this broken heart.

And there
Ain't no driver on this train. No, no, no
There ain't no driver on this train

And I feel a little shaky
But it all just seems in vain
Ain't no driver on this engine
Ain't no brakeman on this train

I feel a little restless
I feel a little weak.
Wrestling with these demons
On a one-way losing streak

Cause there
Ain't no driver on this train. No, no, no
There ain't no driver on this train
