I'm just a penny on the train track
|
Waitin' for my judgement day
|
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
|
Before I get flattened away
|
|
I wait
|
Yeah, I wait
|
For something good, for something great
|
|
Stoppin' in somebody's old home town
|
Gotta get that midnight meal
|
If you can't get behind your own life
|
Get behind the driving wheel
|
|
And go, just go
|
Find a place that you don't know
|
|
Ran into a friend just the other night
|
Got a badge, he's a local cop
|
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years
|
Since out of high school I dropped
|
|
I see, I see
|
All the things that I should be
|
|
Oh baby dance with me!
|
|
Even lucky man has a bad day
|
And pretty girl has a scar
|
After that train comes and takes me away
|
Pick up that guitar
|
|
And play, just play
|
Play that rock and roll for me
|
|
He's in the yard just washin' his car
|
Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife
|
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid
|
Makin' him a perfect life
|
|
And it's grim, so dim
|
When you wish that you were just like him
|
|
I'm just a penny on the train track
|
Waitin' for my judgement day
|
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
|
Before I get flattened away
|
|
I wait, I wait
|
For something good, for something great
|
|
And I try, oh I try
|
I can't stop, I don't know why
|
