Gravy Train
written by Scott Hachey
performed by The Magic Beans

lyrics

Howling at the moon, morning has come too soon
Well the fire's still burning, we got near half a bottle to kill
'pon sonance of cockcrow the blood hounds will be on our trail
Guess we best be moving on, piss out that fire and bail

In California, we got a job
Working, for the mob
Well it ain't what folks call holy but i sure could use some more change.
Had some trouble on the coast before, but that wont happen again.
Cause when i hear that whistle blowing, I'll be rolling on that gravy train

Its hard living, out on the road
You get bought, you get sold
It gets old, living on the road
Ya gotta wear the same clothes or stub your toe
Well ain't nobody gonna save my soul, dontcha know

But when i feel that cool air blowing past the mountain,
down right between my cheeks
I'll give you a fortnight to ponder a feeling that just couldn't beat.
Than that pure canyon air blowing right through the crack your seat

Well i headed down south, to Memphis, TN
Went to see my baby but she didn't wanna see me
Went on down to Georgia, and up to North Caroline
My mama wont see my either, so i guess she's doing fine

Well most dont like my ways, some even call me insane
But i'm just picking and drinking and thinking
i got whiskey lodged somewhere in my brain.
but when i hear that whistle blowing, I'll be rollin' on that gravy train
