Holly Williams - Railroads текст песни

Well, I used to pray to Jesus
But I turned back since
Carrying the burdens of a creature's kid
Drinking at the pub and healing in the lane
Daddy was a rider on the old death train
And I had me a woman but she took my kid
When I gave her all our money on a moonshine still
Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask
This train gonna part it and it's going fast

Oh, the wheels, they spin
They're faster than a speeding airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free 'cause I can't believe it
So I'll take your bet, I'll try me walking down a narrow line
With a life like mine
And you've never seen any boy as brave as me
Yeah, I hope that this old railroad delivers me

I'm still the talk of this town, I'm still the roll of their dice
I found me a lover and a whore house wife
She never knew her mamma or the money I've known
Don't ever make a judgment if you ain't been shown
You never walked in my shoes, you never understood
Why I was escaping any way that I could

Nobody knows, I'm gonna ride these rails
Till the dark comes over this prison cell

Oh, the wheels, they spin
They're faster than a speeding airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free 'cause I can't believe it
So I'll take your bet, I'll try me walking down a narrow line
With a life like mine
And you've never seen any boy as brave as me
Yeah, I hope that this old railroad delivers me

Well the truth came out and the church burned down
Daddy's heart stopped on the edge of this town
I'm out here searching for that boy of my own
Don't ever make a judgment if you ain't been shown

Oh, the wheels, they spin
They're faster than a speeding airplane on a sunny day
And I can't break free 'cause I can't believe it
So I'll take your bet, I'll try me walking down a narrow line
With a life like mine
And you've never seen any boy as brave as me
Yeah, I hope this old railroad delivers me
