lyrics

I was born in darkness on a warm spring night. Dropped into the middle of a firefight. Left alone on my own to die. 25 miles to the county line.

Oh! Lo! the Black Train come. Pushing through the bramble, come to carry me home. Bury my body, but my soul flies on. Black Train coming for to carry me home. That Black Train is a coming for to carry me home.

My pappy never worked a day in his life. Lived by the gun, and he died by the knife. Blame the state if I ain't raised right! 15 miles to the county line.

I guess I could have slaved every day of my life. Bought a couple acres, maybe found me a wife. It's the American dream, but it sure ain't mine. 10 more miles to the county line.

I shot a man in Dallas, dropped his body in the pines over $15 and a bottle of wine. They'll string me up for my wicked crimes. 5 more miles to the end of the line.
