2:13

Come around here at 2:13 there's a train coming down the line
Got my sights on a double-jack hammer for the Washoe County Mine
I don't got a nickel, I don't got a dime
Gave it all to the Governor's seat
Send me down to the bottom of the shaft just to get me off of my feet
"The good Lord has a plan"
Preacher man once said on a Sunday morn
The Gospel truth is a mighty good word
When the shirt on your back is torn
Monday morning talk to God as the only plan you can lay
Is to rob that 2:13 for the double-jack
And somehow get away

8:19 it left Auburn City with six men dressed in blues
Armed to the teeth
That double-jack hammer no mine could afford to lose
They say the finest silver Nevada could drill
Did make that hammer shine
No rock could stand against any man
What swung her on the line
"The good Lord has a plan"
Preacher man once said on a Sunday morn
The Gospel truth is a mighty good word
When the shirt on your back is torn
Two bars of dynamite placed just right lit up like Christmas Day
I robbed that 2:13 for the double-jack
And somehow got away

Somewhere down in Emigrant Gap there's gold right under your feet
But the ropes won't hold and the wind don't quit
And the snow come a mile deep
But I'm a 'gonna get that double-jack hammer right through
If it means I meet my fate
I'm a 'gonna show that double-jack hammer to God
And mine gold for the pearly gates
"The good Lord has a plan"
Preacher man once said on a Sunday morn
The Gospel truth it's a mighty good word
When the shirt on your back is torn
You know I'd use that jack for heaven's work
If heaven did only pay
So I'm gonna rob that 2:13 for the double-jack
And somehow get away
You know I'd use that jack for heaven's work
If heaven did only pay
So I'm gonna rob that 2:13 for the double-jack
And somehow get away
