COLD STEEL RAIL

Old train rolling down the track Slipping into darkness don't come back Tommy's in the morgue Billy's in jail Tommy's laid out like a cold steel rail Full moon shining through the dark of night Train wheels holding the track so tight Carrying the news carrying the mail Carrying it all on a cold steel rail Like a cold steel rail keeps coming round the bend That cold steel rail never reaches the end Billie had a plan Tommy had a gun The sheriff had the edge when the deed was done Bullets flying everywhere raining down like hail Bouncing off the walls and the cold steel rail Billie ducked for cover Tommy stood his ground The sheriff and his deputies mowed Tommy down Then they beat Billie like a hammer on a nail While the moonlight gleamed on the cold steel rail Old train rolling down the track slipping into darkness don't come back Tommy's in the morgue Billy's in jail Tommy's laid out like a cold steel rail Full moon shining through the dark of night Train wheels holding the track so tight Carrying the news carrying the mail Carrying it all on a cold steel rail
