[Verse 1: Lee Mellor]
Every night that train rolls by
Rattles the gla** on the Venetian blinds
Stirs my slumber drives me out of my mind
That ghostly whistle's got some renown
It's the greatest k**er in a small town
[Verse 2: Lee Mellor]
Nights like this with the fog on the tracks
I get the goose-bump shivers and my mind drifts back
Johnny had a twenty-sixer of Jack
The light was blinding then it tore him down
It's the greatest k**er in a small town
[Chorus]
It's the greatest k**er in a small town
Graveyard filler for miles around
Get the shivers when I hear that sound
It's the greatest k**er in a small town
[Verse 3: Lee Mellor]
I'd ride that engine like a hobo, free
Across pines and bridges to the edge of the sea
But it just leads back to the factory
Like every path that I've ever found
It's the greatest k**er in a small town
[Chorus]
