Me and That Train
by Patty Larkin
It was Me And That Train
One night in Colorado
Driving out of Denver
I was following a shadow
Staring down the mountain
With my mouth wide open
Wondering why
I thought about the ocean
Up along the pa**
The snow was blowing
On Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
Like the first time that I met you
You were holding up the sky
Leaning on your leather
And I saw her with you
And I thought you were together
Like that moment in question
Took a ten second answer
You were out the door
You were headed for me
Like Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of b**hes
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
Like the night before Christmas
I was working downtown
A shopkeeper mistress
And a guy in a ski mask
Had a gun in his pocket
And he pointed to the safe
And he told me to unlock it
I put my jands in the air
And I laughed because I couldn't stop it
Just like Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of b**hes
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
It was Me And That Train
When I drove into the canyon
It was coming up the river
Like a long lost companion
And the walls went to heaven
Into endless darkness
But the train lit up the sandstone
Like a thousand pardons
Just then underneath me
And my beating heart was
Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of b**hes
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
And the trucks were sliding sideways
Like sons of b**hes
They were putting on their tire chains
Rolling into ditches
And I crawled on by
Like God was throwing the switches
For Me And That Train
