A Train Not Running

The sound of a train not runnin' has been keepin' me awake Westmoreland mine ain't run much coal since back in '88 Got on at the sawmill but I gotta find a better way Oh, the sound of a train not runnin' is gonna carry me away And every time you look at me, Mary, I want to tell you someday We'll leave the sound of a train not runnin' a thousand miles away Now I don't want to risk my freedom growin' crops on company land But it'd be a damn sight better than a government check in my hand I used to bring home good money, you used to drive a decent car But now we go to town on Saturday, it seems a little too far And every time you look at me, Mary, I wanna tell you someday We'll leave the sound of a train not runnin' a thousand miles away Now some nights when our baby cries, I feel the twings of fear When the sound of a train not runnin' is the only thing I hear And every time you look at me, Mary, I wanna tell you someday We'll leave the sound of a train not runnin' a thousand miles away And every time you look at me, Mary, I wanna tell you someday We'll leave the sound of a train not runnin' a thousand miles away
