F-C-G-C
Think tonight's the night I'm gonna do it
Bags packed light and foolish
Go drink on the main line by the signal light
I don't care where I go,
I'll catch the first thing blowing diesel smoke
Just don't call when a man's about to fall.
This tarp between my back an-the steels all right
And the stars they do look nice tonight
I just hate the way I feel right now inside
All upside down and in-between
Don't know what it all it means
And these stack trains, ain't got now where safe to hide.
Driver Pull... Driver Pull...
I will lay low if you will highball
Driver Pull... Let her roll
Switch to the main and I will go... Where you go
I know the pain and patience wakes
Hauling ass at a snail's pace
I just like the way the wind blows it all
Out West to see old friends
And back East solo again
I'm better for every day I'm gone.
Driver Pull... Driver Pull...
I will lay low if you will highball
Driver Pull... Let her roll
Switch to the main and I will go... Where you go
If tomorrow's like tonight
Everything will be just fine
Just don't call when a mans too high to fall
I left a note there by the stove in an envelope of gold
It says open only if I make it home
I'm well versed in script that's right
Been drowned in thought most all my life
I just never learned the proper way to talk
And voice carries as it flows
I'd rather leave something to hold
Remember old coal trains always take it slow.
