A Train Not Running Lyrics

The sound of a train not runnin'
Been keepin' me awake
Westmoreland Mine ain't run much coal since
Back in '88
I got on at the sawmill
but I got to find a better way
Before the sound of a train not runnin'
Carries me away

CHORUS:
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

I don't want to risk my freedom Chris Knight - A Train Not Running - http://motolyrics.com/chris-knight/a-train-not-running-lyrics.html
Growin' cops on company land
But it'd be a dam site better than a government
Check in my hand
I used to bring home good money
You used to drive a decent car

CHORUS

Now some nights when our baby cries
I feel a twinge of fear
When the sound of a train not runnin'
Is the only sound I hear

CHORUS
