Great Train Songs

Verse:

I learned to drive from my brother
The boy could do anything, while driving a car
Smoke a Marlboro cigarette
Turn on the radio, and play air guitar
Cup of coffee 'tween his knees
On the dashboard he'd drum away
It's like some goddamn sick disease
And in the passenger seat, I would quietly pray

Now I'm at least ten years older
I bought my own car and I buy my own gas
I've got parking tickets by the score
I never signal and I drive way too fast
In the next lane you can see
I'm bobbin' my head along to the stereo
Got no CD in my car
Just an old tape deck and my radio

Chorus:

When I drive, oh I can see,
A thousand lights in front of me
The roaring engine, the hum of tires
The highway goes right on for miles

And those great train songs
Great train songs
Great train songs
Are embedded in my head

Verse:

It's not like I'm scared of driving
I've gone on road trips several hundred times before
I've driven over to Miami
Up to Canada and back down to Mexico
Over to New England and back to Colorado
It's not like I don't know to drive
A little slower in the ice and the snow
It's just that I've got things to see
People to meet and some many places to...

Chorus:

Going faster than I can see
The semi truck in front of me
The tape ejects the music stops
I look right down to pick it up

And those great train songs
Great train songs
Great train songs
Are embedded in my head

Bridge:
A thousand miles
Without a break
I feel so tired
Can't stay awake
The window down
To feel the breeze
The car goes off
Into the trees

Verse:

It's not like I'm easily distracted
I never eat in my car or talk on a cell phone
But if there's a problem with the tunes
I just don't want to stop and fix it when I get home
Cassette tape tangled in the capstan
And flying sideways is the last thing that I see
As the car rolls over in the ditches
I keep humming this single melody

Chorus:

When I die, oh I can see
The jaws of life to rescue me
The policeman looks and knows I'm head
The cassette tape stuck right through my head

And those great train songs
Great train songs
Great train songs
Are embedded in my head
(Embedded in my head)
(Embedded in my head)
Those great train songs
